Installing DJM Dream Beams uses the same installation procedures as replacing a factory beam. Refer to your repair manual for guidelines. New shocks are recommended.
Coil spring length is critical for camber alignment. Factory coils may sag and cause negative camber. Depending on how much negative camber there is, you may need to replace springs or you may be able to add a shim between the spring retainer and beam. If the spring is too long this will cause positive camber. If so, you must cut off some of the coil to make it shorter and give more negative camber. Be extra careful not to cut too much. New coil springs may settle — you should put some miles on the truck before cutting new springs.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BEND YOUR NEW DJM DREAM BEAM TO CORRECT CAMBER.

Install factory sway bar end links as shown in the diagram below. The sway bar may need to be moved above the bracket under the coil spring. It may be necessary to reverse the left and right brackets. Loosen the bolts holding the D-bushing. When the installation is complete and the vehicle is on the ground, tighten end links first, then the D-bushing. Remove the threaded clips. Move this plate forward until the end links stand straight up, then line drill and replace the clips and bolt to frame.
