You could order some beams that are pre-assembled, and I think some that are fully builded are also available.
What type of beam are you looking for? _________________ 86 Mexican baja bug

Link pin on ball joint pan spacing with 8in towers and adjusters. There used to be a guy who made them but he passed away and his son didn't take up the mantle. |

Not from personal experience but I’ve read here that those adapters are not to be used off-road.
You could order one of this. It is exactly what you need

The acme beam is for coil overs, not a bad deal for $1000 as it comes with arms but then I need another $1000 for shocks and other small parts lol. I did find a guy who makes an adapter that's steel so I can be welded to the panhead. The issue with that setup is then I need to extend my steering somehow and my beam braces that I currently have as they also double for the tow bar mounts lol. I could do the steel adapter and figure out the steering and build new braces. Another question is would you go 6in wider? The adapter would push the front end about 2in which is a good thing. |
