My plans for my early 99 2wd are to install the djm kit

Djm dream beams for a 3 inch drop up front
Djm shackles and hangers our back for a 5inch drop
20" x 8.5 " KMC Rockstar wheels in black

Now for the questions:
1.) I heard early 99 suspension to 99.5 suspension differ is it anything that effects the I beams or rear suspension
2.) What is my lug pattern?
3.) What is my stock wheel size... I have the 16" aluminum wheels that look like mt classics
4.) I heard super dutys use hub centric wheels and most after market wheels are lug centric... is this a legit concern???

 

1 - If I understand correctly when I checked the differences, the only vehicles that were really affected suspension wise were the 4x4s

2 - 8X170mm

3 - 16x7.5

4 - No

Post pics when ya do it. Some SDs look sick when lowered.

 

I think all SD's look sick lowered

 

What is the factory backspacing

 

I think its 4.5

 

I'm pretty sure I'd get sick if I saw a SD lowered.

 

Same thing I thought.

 

buy a ranger and lower IT, lowering an SD is counterproductive

 

haters welcome ...
this is y i dont build trucks for others just myself

 

If I had a 2WD S-D, I would definitely lower it. With the right wheel/tire combo it would look sick.

 

good point, that nose might just look even more aggressive hugging the ground like its ready to bite something

 

there is a 2wd, SC, LB in amarillow yellow round here, looks pretty good lowered. Course to get mine that low, takes 3 scoops of rock in the bed and the TT hooked up.

 

both 8 lug mag and diesel world did features on lowered super dutys

and dropndrag.com fourm has a 250 sd laying body on 22's ill link it when i get home

 

Maybe I'm missing something but I think it IS a concern. Super Duty wheels are hub centric for a reason. You can easily find hub centric aftermarket wheels for your Super Duty and you should.

 

I was pretty sure that the aftermarket wheels I have on my truck were not hub centric, but were lug centric. Maybe I'm confused.
