Bending ibeams for aligment

Post by Fo-Mo-Co »

So I found a shop that has the equipment to bend the beams. How much drop can you correct with beam bending?

About 2.25 inches... that's generally the distance between the I-beam and OE bumpstop... Prolly get up to 3 inches by cutting them down or going with shorter poly bumps..

Btw, get some good shocks.
