What if I told you, the PRO's can build you a beam that will WoW you? How?

The Build. The Finish. The Hardware. The Detail. The Quality. The Packaging. The Fit. The Function. The Ride. The User Experience. Is the Hype real?

Experience is what makes the PRO's at Airkewld, Artisan's in the Classic Volkswagen Drive-Train. 20+ years designing, fabricating, building and assembling, all components of the VW drive-train, the PRO's are still not satisfied. Everyday, improvements are made. Everyday, the PRO's get incrementally better with all processes of these components. The Hunger... is Real!

Also: The products listed in the section below are quality controlled by the PRO's to ensure you are getting a quality component that meets or exceeds expectations. Stage 1 is a "static" adjustable beam and Stage 2 is an "air ride" adjustable beam. Any of these beams can be built from stock width and stock height to narrowed and even raised for a lifted stance.

The BEST way to adjust a Classic Volkswagen Type 1 with ball joint front suspension (1966 through 1977) is by installing a Complete PRObuilt Beam. When the PRO's say complete, they mean complete. You will not need anything in addition to this assembly.

Contrary to belief, the shockless beam can ride amazingly when using Airkewld's Delrin bushings. One tip, though, is if the vehicle is adjusted down, the ride will be rough, lift it an inch, and the ride improves.

a PRO's Take | Product Advice & Recommendation

Trust is earned and reputation makes decisions easy. - Airkewld CEO Pete Skiba
