Cut them yourself or buy them?

Also, how did the camber work out and all? (What degree's you used and if any problems occured). I'd like to get 3" drop front and rear in my pickup.

I plan on doing this to my 2wd and the 4wd I plan on getting.

Just hulk it and buy some dream beams. The biggest problem is the camber.. I wouldn't trust cut and rewelded beams, but that's just me..

i would agree with pete. i wouldn't trust them ether. you could make 2 inch coils work good but i would think the 3 inch be pushing the limit with camber.

if you use 85-88 beams they are forged and can be cut and welded back with out a problem if the person knows what they are doing with a welder.

just dont try it with the cast beams from 89-97 unless you got a xray machine and some high nickle filler
