So ive heard that the tubular I beams are susceptible to bending, is this true?? anyone run into this problem with the tube lowering I beams.

I looked at some boxed beams form chassis tech but they are a bit expensive for my blood.

any help would be great...thanks

I have never heard of them bending, a LOT of people use them and they have no issues with them

That was a lie made up by chassis tech back in the 90s to try and sell there beams. DJM (the round dream beams) are the best ones, I have been told I have one of the best prices around on them. If you might ever plan on bagging the truck ever deff go with the DJM beams they have more frame clearance. Chassis tech and belltech beams are way over priced...

DJM round beams do not bend. They are the ones you want.
