lowering questions
i posted this on the super duty page with no luck so i changed the title and reposted it here
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??? <!-- / message --> <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --> <!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --> <!-- controls -->

To answer some of your questions, I know the following.
1. I have no clue.
2. 8 x 170mm with lug nuts 14mm x 2.0
3. stock wheel size should be 16" x 7"
4. stock wheels are hub centric. aftermarket are lug centric. should not be a concern as long as you torque the lug nuts and then torque them again after 50 miles or so.
Good Luck with your project.

Ahh true, thankyou Tim for the lug info.
I'm not familiar with the 2wd systems, so i'm no help there, but I haven't heard a difference other than the 4wd parts (leaves, hubs, bearings, rotors). Good luck and I would love to see pics of this as well

u need to bodydrop it, we did an air ride set-up and a bodydrop on an f350, it was sick. had to replace the entire front suspension with chevy 3500 suspension but it was so sweet. he paid a us pretty coin though.
