Dream beams replace your stock I beams, but locate the knuckle 3" higher on the vehicle, allowing you to go low while keeping "stock" suspension geometry.

dream beams. the lowest you can go on coils is 2 because the camber due to i beams is ridiculous. any more than 2in springs and youll be going through a set of tires a month. dream beams and 2inch coils is what most ppl do, for a total of 5 inches in the front. if you wanna lower the back, its a flip kit. if you wanna go more than 4 inches you have a c-notch the frame and block it.

They pretty much covered it, the DJM 3/4 kit is what most people run starting out and add onto later. But you could also start out and go 2/2 if you wanted.

Illusive Fabrication is a vendor here:

'89-'97 drop beams

Summit also sells them, and has really good prices.
