FAQ - Do I need to do body mods to install this beam? No. The inside dimension is 29 13/16". That gives a clearance of 1/16" on each side.
- How do you narrow the beam 4" when I only have 1/2 inch on each side of my stock beam? We utilize the outer ends of the tubes and gusset outwards to give us the needed space. Here is a video that explains it.
- Will this beam work with Air Ride and Static suspension? Yes. With Air Ride, the adjuster will not be functioning.
- My arms don't slide into my Ultimate Beam. Do I need to buy your arm set? No. Your control arms haven't been serviced in their lifetime, you probably have wear on them, and they need to be emory cloth polished until they slide in smoothly. Skipping this step or forcing them in will cause the vehicle to ride poorly. Here is a video that explains it.
- Why is the lower bushing fatter than the top bushing? This update was made to get the best camber adjustment possible with a lowered ball joint suspension. It allows the eccentric to be in the center of adjustment in the middle range and meet the needs if you are slammed or stock height.
