Made in the USA | Product updated 2/6/24 by PeteRelated: Spindle to Spindle Assembled PRObuilt Beam | PRObuilt Arm Set | PRObuilt Steering BoxTypical time to install - 4 Hours | Install PDF Link | Install Video | Tools Needed What's included? The Ultimate Beam comes powder coated satin black with adjusters installed, delrin bushings, grease zerks, and hardware (steering dampener lock nut, washer, upper shock bolt assembly hardware and steering box locator hardware should you not have a steering box clamp with notches). What's recommended? New torsions sized to length (optional) You could shorten you factory torsions and redimple them if you have the right tools to do so. New tie rods (steering rods only with jam nuts) (optional) Install kit (saves time, ensuring that you have everything needed to do the job right) New beam bolts, upper and lower body pads, inspection plate, premium tie rod ends and premium steering dampener) Shocks (Sport Shocks are a perfect addition to this beam. If you want to determine your ride feel, opt for the adjustable shocks) Four-inch narrowed is the most common beam purchased. It gives you the most versatile options in fitting wheels that are wider than stock, drop spindles, and disc brakes that can add track width. Kewl Features American made 7.5 inches of up-and-down movement Taller shock towers allow for the use of shocks that will work with any ride height adjustment and allows the vehicle to lay out with the use of air ride Industries finest packaging to ensure it will arrive to you unscathed Can be adjusted in 1/16th inch increments in ride height 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.
