Why an Ultimate Beam?
Do you need to lift or lower your front end? Are your wheels scrubbing the fenders? Did you add some disc brakes or drop spindles on your ride and now they stick out? Are you trying to achieve a certain look? If any of these questions pertain to a need that you have, then The Ultimate Narrowed Beam is your answer. The Ultimate Narrowed Beam has about seven inches of adjustability so you can fine tune where you want your car. Because of the adjuster we use, you can adjust your car up and down by 1/16th inch increments. That means you can get the exact height and look you are after. If your wheels are sticking out after a disc brake addition, installing drop spindles or after installing a new set of wheels, The Ultimate Narrowed Beam is the product to remedy this issue. We can narrow a beam up to 4? with shock towers and no body modifications. The inside dimension is 29 13/16". That gives a clearance of 1/16" on each side.
Pro's versus Con's
These beams are built with 100% brand new parts made in the USA. Each front end is jig built to ensure straightness and longevity. The beams are MIG welded for strength and clean looks. Everything is assembled for the best fit and finish. You can have an adjustable beam now and install air ride at a later time with out issue.
Some companies use stock beams, narrow them, install adjusters and replace the bearing and bushing with poly urethane. This is old technology. Some companies skip steps to save time and money. We do not skip a thing.
