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.
