Complete PRObuilt Air Ride Front Axle Beam Assembly | 1949-1965 Classic VW Type 1 Beetle Ghia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - "Fully assembled, PRO-verified, and engineered to deliver a world-class air ride experience with zero guesswork."

The Right Way to Add Air Ride to a Link Pin Volkswagen

The best way to add air ride to a 1949–1965 Classic VW Beetle or Ghia is with a Stage 2 PRObuilt Air Ride Front Axle Beam Assembly.

When the PROs say complete, they mean it.

This beam arrives fully assembled, aligned, and bolt-in ready, eliminating the confusion and compatibility issues that come with piecing together an air ride setup.

Every PRObuilt Air Ride Beam is reviewed by a PRO for correctness before it ships — including narrowing, air ride components, brakes, wheels, and suspension fitment.
If anything needs clarification, we’ll contact you before proceeding.

That’s how air ride stays smooth, reliable, and predictable.

Why Stage 2 PRObuilt Is Different

Bolt-In & Go

This is a true bolt-in solution. Most installations are completed in under 4 hours with basic hand tools.

No cutting.
No welding.
No fabrication.

Just remove the old beam and bolt this one in.

Premium Quality You Can Feel

PRObuilt represents the highest level of refinement we offer.

Each Stage 2 beam is built using premium components, German-made parts where it matters, satin black powder coating, and stainless steel hardware throughout—designed to last the life of the vehicle.

You’ll feel the difference immediately in ride quality, steering response, and overall confidence.

World-Class Air Ride Performance

Equipped with air ride and engineered for proper geometry, this beam delivers 7.5 inches of usable suspension travel.

Whether you’re aired up for cruising or aired out at a show, the ride remains smooth, controlled, and predictable—without binding or harshness.

Ready to Ship, Ready to Roll

Residential or commercial delivery is available at competitive rates, including lift gate and pallet jack service when needed.

Why PRObuilt?

PRObuilt beams represent the most complete and refined assemblies we build.

They feature premium finishes, upgraded materials, and stainless hardware, then receive a final PRO review for correctness before shipping.

What’s Included

This is a fully assembled front axle system, not a partial kit.

Included in every Stage 2 PRObuilt Air Ride Beam:

• Brand New Front Axle Beam

• PRObuilt Control Arms

• PRObuilt Spindles

• PRObuilt Steering Box

• Premium Tie Rod Ends

• Premium Steering Damper

• Premium Stainless Steel Hardware

Once installed and ride height is set, a 4-wheel alignment is recommended to get the most from your PRObuilt Beam.

PRO’s Recommendations

What Beam Width Should I Choose?

For most air ride applications, the PROs recommend a 4-inch narrowed beam.
This provides the best balance of wheel clearance, suspension travel, and clean fender fitment for most wheel and tire combinations.

Disc Brakes — Strongly Recommended

Pair your Stage 2 PRObuilt Air Ride Beam with one of our Disc Brake Kits (1949–1965) for improved stopping power and safer driving.

Want them installed?
Select the Disc Brake Installation (Labor Only) option and the PROs will handle it before shipping.

Optional Add-Ons (Not Required)

The beam is complete and ready to install as-is.
These options are offered for convenience.

Optional Install Kit

Includes new beam bolts and upper/lower body pads—recommended for a faster, cleaner installation.

Optional Disc Brake Installation — PRO Installed (Labor Only)

Select this option if you plan to add one of our disc brake kits and want the PROs to install it on your beam before it ships.

Disc brake kit sold separately.
A PRO will confirm the correct kit before finalizing your order.

Fitment & FAQs

Do I need to modify my vehicle’s body to install this beam?
No. This is a true bolt-in solution for Link Pin vehicles. No cutting or welding required.

Do I need to send in a core?
No core is required.
If you return usable arms, spindles, and steering box components (packed in a 5-gallon bucket), a $200 core rebate will be issued once received.

Will I need anything in addition to this assembly?
Yes.
To control ride height from inside the vehicle, you’ll need an air management system:

• 2-valve system for front-only air ride

• 4-valve system for front and rear air ride

Tech Support (Important)

Airkewld provides full tech support for our PRObuilt Air Ride Beams when used with our AMK air management systems.

If you choose to use a different air management system, we cannot troubleshoot those components, as we are not familiar with their operation.

Tech support is provided for as long as you own the vehicle.
If the vehicle is sold, tech support plans are available for the next owner.

The Bottom Line

This isn’t just an air ride beam—it’s a PRO-verified, fully engineered suspension solution designed to deliver the smoothest, most predictable air ride experience we offer.

If you want air ride done once, correctly, and at the highest level, this is the beam.
