64valiant Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 @Roman my kit for the front beam has a bunch of extra bolts in it so it can be raised 40mm to add more slamm i would need to remove the vivid mark of steel out add more steel and weld it all up. you can see the height difference in this image from the bolt holes to the top of the modified one and the one not modified on the other side this is from the company who supplied the kit 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 No stress at all. My post certainly wasn't as informative as my previous posts in the thread. Have been going through and uploading photos via flicker as all my old photos have managed to fall off the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
