Hey guys. I've done several dropped beams over the years from rangers to F-350's. I know alot of people use the DJM "dream beams", but after we had one break in two I will NEVER recomend them to anyone.

I like DJM for the most part, but I have no use for the "dream beams". The tubes do not go into the other tubes, if they do they dont go more than an inch. They are are just welded at the ends. I have pics to prove this!

Bell tech is pricy but good stuff.

Other than that The only other choice is Chassie Tech (AIM), and I'm not sure if they make them for yours, or not? Personly I have had great luck w/thier beams, and have them on 2 diffrent truck rigt now. They do make abunch of crap that isn't good for anything other than trot-line weight, but the beams so far have been alright.
