Description

Classic VW's Equipped with these Components

Complete Details

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

The Stage 1 Raised PRObuilt Beam is built on the Ultimate Beam platform and is stock width.

The complete beam comes as you see it, spindle to spindle, with an entire PRObuilt steering system installed and ready to bolt in and go.

What's recommended?

Install kit (saves time, ensuring you have everything needed to do the job right) New beam bolts, upper and lower body pads, and inspection plate) .
Shocks (Sport Shocks are perfect for a majority of our clients. Smooth ride and just enough tension for the proper feel. If you want to determine your ride and feel, opt for the adjustable shocks)
If you want to make this beam install even more complete, maybe installing a GEN 2 Disc Brake kit might make sense. To have the PRO's install them, you will need to add the labor to do that here, then choose your disc brake kit here.
If your steering coupler from your column to your steering box has seen better days, the PRO's suggest the OEM PRObuilt Steering Box Coupler found here.

FAQ

Do I need to send in a core? No. The PRO's have a few options for your cores. Check them out here.
Will I need anything in addition to this assembly? No. It's as complete as it comes from the factory.

The front end will be coated apart and assembled to keep the clean look with new hardware. It's set to the medium height setting so that you can adjust it to your liking. It's pre-greased, and alignment will set in a rough application for shipping.
