the support bars are just that, extra support for the beam. they stiffen the front end.

the thing beam is dimensionally similar to the beetle beam, but there are a few important differences. the thing beam has reinforced shock towers, the aforementioned support bars, and different torsion leaves inside. i believe it is possible to bolt up a beetle beam to the thing chassis, but you if you did, you would be losing some of the most desireable features of the thing.
