Did you cut your own beam or buy one? How about the tie rods? I am going to do the same thing this weekend with Happy Camper. No I had one already done I just have to clean it and paint it. If you look at my pics you can see where the adjusters are their is a weld on each side this is done when you chop and shorten a stock beam and add adjusters. The tie rods have to be custom for the shorten beam. And if you want to run shocks I would run shorten shocks. Mine are Empi shorten shocks made for a lowered beam. Beam before I started cleaning it up.  Beam after wire wheel.  |

Looks nice and solid underneath. I cant be sure form the pics, but by looking at the position of the steering arm stop bracket, I would guess that beam has been shortened by about 4". Are those lowered spindles as well?
