Thats a beefy looking traction beam. Why?

 

[Ranger44]

Yeah, what's up?

 

[Will]

Shock mount I think.

When you get lots of droop the beam is coming back pretty far as well as down. That is significant if you are trying to mount a shock on the front. Before I bagged my front coils I had different attempts at keeping the shock from binding, hitting the coil, out of the way of the steering arm. Never could keep them from getting banged up. I'm sure Joel has the ability to rotate parts in 3d since that's what he does for a living and he has that bad boy figured out.

I think Will got it. I would like to see anyone bend that beam!

It's plated top bottom front back.

This is only the start, of what is to come.

 

[bobbywalter]

Don't worry it's gonna get done!

Not likely

 

[metalmacguyver]

Since you are beefing it up, you must have had problems with bending the beams before? Any pics of that carnage?

 

[mhughes165]

i gotta do the same before mine goes under, the 35 drivers side beam is bent on mine, gotta bust ole smokey out and straighten it up, then ill plate it up

 

[Bent Bolt]

Not likely

Wasn't expecting any freebies . Beams look good.

 

[bobbywalter]

dont know if theres pic...but they bend alot....and not worth straightening.



best bet is to mod them with real c's and run real knuckles like they should have been to begin with



back to back bullshit bearing bastards, just wrong...

No I don't. A buddy of mine bent one this past summer. He came down off a ltedge and there was a rock hiding in a small bush. Bent the drive beam enough that the beam was contacting the center U-joint. I know of a couple other guys that have bent them. One being

Don't worry that back to back bearing BS will get fixed.
