OK I am looking at the djm dream beams and they are saying there is no difference between 67-72 & the 73-79. I thought the king pins were different?
Am i going to have to switch to 73+ spindles if i use dream beams?

"They" are correct. The difference is in the spindles (and kingpins) if swapping to discs.OltxF100 wrote:OK I am looking at the djm dream beams and they are saying there is no difference between 67-72 & the 73-79. I thought the king pins were different?

68-74 spindles are interchangeable and 75-79 are interchangeable and corresponding kingpins must be used for the spindle year.
If merely swapping stock I-beams for DJ beams, then the spindle doesn't matter. Just spec the kingpins applicable for your year truck. Dig?
