How To

FAQ

Q: Do I need to modify my vehicle’s body to install the PRObuilt Beam?
A: No body modifications are required! The PRObuilt Beam is designed to fit directly into your existing setup. The inside dimension is 29 13/16", giving you just 1/16" of clearance on each side—so it's a clean, easy install without any cutting or welding. It's truly a bolt-in solution, saving you time and hassle.

Q: Do I need to send in a core?
A: No. However, the PRO's would love to get your old beam's components. This means we can not take the entire beam assembly back and requires some disassembly. The arms, spindle assemblies and steering box assembly to be specific. If we can get those in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid, you can use the supplied return label to affix to the bucket and drop it off at a UPS Store near you. To locate one near you, click here. If you do all of this, a rebate of $200.00 will be applied to your account in a refund once we receive it. 

Q: Will I need anything in addition to this assembly?
A: Yes. If you want to control the ride height from inside the vehicle, we recommend the 2 valve air management system if you are just running air ride up front or a 4 valve air management if you are doing front and rear.

  • Can't say enough good things about AirKewld 5

    OK, I SWEAR, I wasn't paid for this, but some companies just deserve heaping amounts of praise. My Father built my daughter a 1974 VW Bug, it was beautiful! One of the highlights of the car was the adjustable i-beam through AirKewld. The stance was perfect, the handling was phenomenal, and the fit and finish of the i-beam was beyond our expectations. My daughter won 2 car shows with the bug, and I always made a point to show people the i-beam. Unfortunately, she was in an accident and the bug was totaled (rear ended and pushed into the truck in front of her). I ended up buying it back with a salvage title, and am now repairing it. One of the things I needed was a new i-beam. I called up Pete and explained what had happened and he set me up with a brand new i-beam and expedited the build and delivery in order to get her bug back on the road. EXCELLENT customer service, phenomenal build quality, and absolutely one of those companies I will tell everyone about! Thanks Pete for EVERYTHING!

    I have been a customer of Airkewld for the past four years. I have nothing really to say because the excellent quality of Pete's products already speak for themselves. I'm sure other customers can attest to my review. If other people are debating on purchasing from Airkewld...do it! I guarantee you won't regret it. Pete also provides excellent customer service to match the level of his products.

    Got the new beam installed this weekend, as advertised it was a breeze to install, just be patient and get a friend to help! If I ever do another bug these guys will be my first stop, I would recommend calling them when order as they are spot on with the right questions to get you exactly what you are looking for in your beam. ie: told them that I wanted to use my disc brake conversion, they recommended using standard spindles( I was only looking to level out my bug), as the adjustable beam could accomplish this without dropped spindles( they per adjusted the beam for me to accomplish this!! Hell ya). Would I use them again, hell yes! Are there beams what they claim, hell yes!! Would I tell a friend to buy there products, definitely!!
