DJM Dream Beam king pin receiver angle

Post by 1bigogre »

I purchased DJM Dream Beam part number DB3004-3 for my 72 F100. When I attempted to identify the driver and passengers side beams I noticed that the king pin receiver tube on one is at a significantly different angle than the other. One seems to have more than a 5° inclination. Also the upright on one seems to be at a slightly different angle than the other. In the attached pictures you will see that I placed two straight dowels along side the beams and the king pins in the receiver to show the angle difference. Are they supposed to have that much of a difference due to which side of the truck they install? I am very hesitant to install these until I know they are correct. Thanks for your time.
