Narrowed beam question

Post by Heyman3000 »

I've read you can narrow a ball joint beam 3.75 inches and keep your factory shock towers with no body modifications....is this true...there was no mention of tower modifications... would like to go 3.50 inches narrow , weld in adjusters and narrowed sway bar...thanks for any information !

Get ready to have to make some changes to the body or the towers. We went 2" narrower, added 2" narrower springs, added an adjuster and had to clearance the body. The front end had to be cut in the center to remove the grub and put in the adjuster. It was a chore keeping it all aligned and a lot of work. Then powder coat and all new bearings. You may just want to do it but it's much quicker to get one all done. Just my opinion.
