ok, main reason I'm even doing the drop is so the back doesnt look like its sagging ass.
I got a D4 axle from a 92 explorer yesterday and I'm just going to bolt it in as-is and weld shock mounts to it and be done with it. this will obviously lower the rearend. Dont feel like going through all the crap with welding on new spring perches and such.
anyway, I'm trying to figure out which way to go for the front drop.
should I:
A. 3" DJM dreambeams
B. 3" lowering springs + drop shocks
and for either of these will I need a camber kit? I'm assuming with the dreambeams I wont really need an alignment but would be recommended but that with the lowering springs I'll definitely need an alignment.
pros/cons of one over the other? people say both retain a really good ride but that with the 3" springs the only way to keep the ride is with the drop shocks??
also, are you even able to buy the dreambeams by themselves to keep the cost down a little or is that only possible buying them used??
