My name is Russell Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yeah that's the one, was going to leave to hayhole to explain but basically we chopped the bottom of the beam & body then added those plates to the side of the beam to replace the bottom mounting point, added a crush tube on the body and all bolts up nicely. We were quite stoked with the tight tolerances we achieved, no slop in bolt etc, all nice and solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnrusty Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 yea, went from like 25mm of clearance, to 140mm and not lifting the car anymore than higher profiloe tyres have stoked as fuck, and finding out how to lower the rear was sweet, wouldnt say its easy but alot easier than we both thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Looking at that paint shopped picture above that must have been when you first installed the beam because when we worked on it those lower bolts were half missing front hitting the road.
