lowering with beams and coils...

[layedout72]

how low can you go when it comes down to it on this stock front end? I may go mustang II but, just how low can you go? Im thinkin the drop beams and a 3 inch drop coil, and then flippin he rear and it should level things out and be plenty low for a nice look, took a little tire hopefully. Will this be too low in respect to camber and all this? I can have a little, couple degrees but I don't want it to contribute to tire wear toooo much.

maximum with a stock setup is approx. 5 inches you get 3 with drop beams and 2 with shorter coils without affecting camber. flipping the hanger in the rear gives you about 4 and shackles give you another two so you can get a 5/6 drop on stock-type suspension.

thats the route im going with
ibeams and springs in front
shackles and hangers out in back...
5/6 drop

Hey layedout I think this one is on I beams and super notch in the rear. I like how this one look's.

[layedout72]

bagged up front correct? I like how that looks, not layed out completely but deffinately a NICE stance.

Definatly like the looks of that truck!!

[marz68]

Yeah I think it's bagged on all fours.
You can lay doors on I beams if you Z the frame and rework your body mounts and frame.

[layedout72]

yah, but if your gunna Z it, may as well just go mustangII with J/Y parts and new rubber pieces.

I also have a question about lowering:

I have an F250 with a 78 front end, discs and all. I want to use the DJM, but I am having a hard time finding a kit for an F250, they only list it as a f100. So is there a difference? Anybody know the right kit #, or right beam #;s?

[green70]

they should be the same,just get the ones for the 78 to match your kingpins/spindles

Djm beams w/2" coils,flip kit with c notch in the rear,front is about as low as you can go without major mods,had to cut the bump stops almost completely off in the front

I've got the same issue, though I'm not looking for as drastic a change as some of you.

I want to know what the easiest way is to lower my front end a little? I don't carry a load often and the excess camber is wearing the outer edges of my front tires.

If I could just get it to squat a few inches that might help. How else can I adjust the camber?

Thanks

you could cut your springs,start with a half coil,that should help your positive camber problem
