Difference in weight of DJM Dreambeam vs OEM cast beams? Gen 1 ranger only??

[corerftech]

Does anyone know the weight savings when OE beams are replaced with DJMs?
Thanks in advance.I have searched several ways and can’t get a hit from Google, DJM website or the ‘Station.

I would think the DJM beam would be heavier? Weight savings is not their primary purpose. All the weight is going to be in the stock spindle and rotor way out on the end anyway, where it really makes a difference.

I could let you know in a month or so. I am doing the DJM upgrade from 1983-1988 to the 1989-1997 beams. I dont have the origianal to compare to but I do have some 1989-1997 stock beams. I will also have the DJM beams with bushings, rotors, calipers, lines, Timken bearings, 2.5 degree camber inserts and ball joints all new within 5k miles available when I do this swap.
