No, You need to either have the I-beams realigned by someone who knows what they are doing, or you need to buy a set of dropped I-beams(yes, they do make them) along with a proper set of drop coils.

thanks
no alignment for you.

spend the money and get new front coils and drop ibeams and do it the right way.

I used the djm dream beams on my 1985 f150. i did the 3in. front drop and axel flip in the rear and it looks awsome. i also got my alignment done and it drives perfect.

should be. the only differences are that I know of are the brakes and bolt pattern.

I talked to a rep from DJM not long ago, he said the "dream beams" are marketed for the F-150 but WILL fit the F-100...no need to modify anything else.

Depending on your truck's year, they'll send you the right ones.

i was vary happy with my djm dream beams, and i did alot of research before buying them and found them to be the most liked. but any thing you go with i'm sure will look good. the only complaint i have is the strange ticking noise that happens after i lowered it.
