Pushing Beam forward

[bajahucks]

Re building the front of my buddies Baja and need to know how far the to bush the beam forward. The tunnel has been cut out all ready so I can't go off the stock beam location. So I'm wanting the measurement front the fire wall to the center of the beam. He has 2.5" longer arms. So if anyone that has that and can measure for that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will help, but here's a link ...

Stock is 12 inches.

Closer to 13-5/8 inches than 12. So if you want to push the beam forward 2.5" from stock, then from the firewall to the center of the beam it would be 16-1/8". Or just go ahead with 18" and the wheels will still fit into the fenders pretty well.
