ok so what's better for dropping the front? the DJM beams or the Belltech drop spindles...
what happens if you use both? 6" drop?

How far can we drop the rear before I need to notch the frame cause thats something I dont want to do.

Lastly... where the hell can I get some race/sport antiswaybars for these trucks? Belltech doesn't have any.

belltech and djm make dream beams for our trucks. drop spindles are for the older/newer trucks. you can get drop coils and dream beams for a total of 5 inches but you will need different alignment cams to compensate. i think 5 or 6 is the most you can go without having to notch. on some big bumps or if im hauling something my 5 inchs hits the frame pretty hard.

i have a 3/5 djm kit and havent had any problems. the handling seems a little tighter but not much cause i dont have an anti sway bar up front so it still leans pretty hard. djm has a sway bar link spacer to u
se with the kit. i didnt buy mine straight from djm so i didnt get those yet. but i imagine it would help alot.

i havent seen or heard of any racing/ performance sway bars for our trucks. perhaps a custom or maybe a fox body with custom mounting brackets i dont know. or maybe a f250 would have stiffer anti sway bars if they have them itd be worth checking out.
