ALL those with djm dream beams

Well pretty simple. I have lowered my F150 with djm's 3" dream beams and its crooked. Sits lower by almost an extra inch on the PASSENGER side. I could see it being lower on the driver side since gas tank and the driver is all on that side. Only real weight is the battery and its not nearly enough to offset my 180lb self.

I have heard things from the motor being offset in the subframe to sagging coils. Well coil springs are brand new and the motor is not sitting to the passenger side.

Swapping sides with the coils will do nothing. They arent side dependent and the only time it would actually do something is if by chance that coil was sagging (which it is not). So I am left with an uneven truck and having to shim the low side up 1" FML

Also heres a few others on the NLOC board who have ran into the same problem and about the same difference. Seems to be farely common in DJM's stuff so I wouldnt be surprised if they were pre-bending them in hopes to offset driver and gas tank weight and they messed up.
