I have been told that if I put I-beams on my truck to lower it and put semi wheels on it that I could never get the alignment right on it to keep it from wearing out the front tires, could anyone give me some input on this.

there are some ford guys on here that will be able to give you a good answer to this just hold on and someone will help you.

Bagged, you may have a few issues, just lowered, your golden as long as a reputable alignment shop does it. I got a shop here that does all our bagged trucks and never had a problem.

ok i hope to find a good shop here to align it but they are harder to find here than strip clubs. Yeah when i bag it i am going to have to install chevy hd front frame section i dont see why ford just recently got smart and done away with i-beams

No need for a whole front frame section. Just add control arms the the stock frame. Thats the easiest way.

Like drag said, lowered no problem with a good alignment shop. I had probably a hundred hours in each of my beams on my 250 they were cut for camber and raised for a 6" drop its not an easy task but to have it on beams that still work properly feels good. The chevy suspension would be easier but it is more costly.

i beams are good for negative camber from rangers to full size.... the issue is when baggin, like said jsut a static your fine with a reputible alignment shop( might have to get a caster/camber kit( not sure if they are available ) if not jsut make sure they adjsut as best as they can, but with baggin like u said switch it over, to much of a pain in the butt to deal with like bgate said, i am swapin to a mustang 2 on my ranger to get rid of the i beam set up

liek the negative camber look jsut hate all the issues of tryin to get it to lay right without riskin saftey and addin more headache
i beams were a great idea if u lift and off road, best set up but lowerin and baggin worst thing next to spam

hey bgate13 do you have any pics of what you did to your i beams? i know the chevy front would be the easiest but i wan to keep the i beams for some reson. i sent you a message but not sure if you saw it or not.

i have the djm beams and you would think they would make them so they come at ) deg camber, but no they dont. i need to get mine alligned soon, after tires.

I can look for pics but working till 4 in the morning for 6 weeks just to get the front to lay, the last thing i did was take pics. but i might have a few i will just have to look. if i find any i will send them your way. it takes alot of mock up to get camber right on beams but worth it. I think Jamey Jordan did the same thing on his 70's model ford.
