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 -->

 

Oh no.. no way.. a drop...it cant be.. on a superduty..I cant look

yes dropping a super duty and no its not a dually
1 reason answers both questions... i like to be diffrent


oh and i have 2wd so no leaves

 

This could be interesting. I don't think I've seen a superduty lowered. I'd like to see some pictures when it's done.

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

 

here is some pics of a bagged f250 :

 

This one looks pretty sweet

 

Damn! That is low! Looks good!

 

I never would have thought we would have seen that on here

 

Thinking outside the box is what I do

Wish I could post pics fro.m my fone but can't cut and paste on herw

Past projects...

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.
