Installation Procedure
Installing DJM Dream Beams follows the same procedure as replacing factory beams. Refer to your vehicle repair manual for detailed guidelines. Factory shocks can be reused.
Install the factory sway bar end links as shown in the diagram. The sway bar needs to be moved above the bracket. Reverse the left and right brackets and leave loose — spacers are not required on F150. Loosen the bolts holding the plate that holds the D-bushing and remove the threaded clips. Move this plate forward until the end links stand straight up, then line drill, replace the clips, and bolt to frame. When the installation is complete and the vehicle is on the ground, tighten the end links.
Before driving the vehicle, verify there are absolutely no clearance problems between the wheels, spindle, caliper, lower control arms, and any other component.

Installation
Installation Procedure
When you get ready to install your sway bar on the dream beam, you will find at first sight that the holes do not line up.
Place the bracket in a vice and give it a couple of good hits. The goal is to create an angle that will help with alignment.
After bending the bracket the hole alignment is better — however the bracket does not yet sit flat with the surface of the beam.
The bolt is plenty long enough to get started by hand. Thread it in manually before using any tools.
Using your ratchet, crank down the bracket until it sits flush with the surface of the beam.
The bracket is now flush with the beam surface. Proceed to finish the remainder of the sway bar installation.
