Nope, its pretty standard. You may need to put different alignment cams in, but you won't know until after you install the kit and get it back on the ground. Even if you dont need them, have your alignment checked at a shop...

The djm beams don't really mess the camber up too bad. you may have to run like a 2 or 3 degree camber bushing you can get them at oreilleys or just go to an alignment shop. I ran factory bushings with my i beams and it didn't eat tires very quick. Now if you put the belltech drop coils with the Ibeams then your camber will get silly.
