lowering twin I beam suspension
Hey gear heads got a question for ya .I have a 67 f100 and am in the process of lowering it .I have looked in to putting other front ends under it and I beams that have been fabricated and sold on the internet. Ive seen a front end that has the dream beam set up and looked like a guy might be able to fab them up himself.I work in a metal fab shop and have access to all the machinery,the beams looked like they were made out of 7ga. sheetmetal to 1\4 steel and then welded up nothing to special about it .Wher could I go to ,to find specs and dims. on the dropped i beams.

ive got a set of djm drop beams and they are 1/4 wall square tube. the drop end is 4 1/2" plates stacket on the end.
you could make your own im sure. these units are HEAVY. i have no idea how far the tubes are inserted but they are well made. Id say for you to cut all the parts, make a jig for each side to hold the king pin area at the right angle you will be into them almost as much as they will cost you. they also come with the tie rod drop pieces. i think they were just over $600 if you contact djm and get a local distributor.

its just worn in I have a nice set of punches and some beater ones
67. im going to take a bunch of install pics for the beams since you cant seem to find them anywhere online. the beam is welded at a slight angle to the pivot eye. The drivers side arm which mounts behind the pass arm, angles forward, the pass arm is the opposite. They are probably 5-10degrees of the axis of the truck
