They do make great hanger locations! And I suspect that they will aid in giving leverage when pulling off the valve covers from the heads.

With a few issues the beam was welded with the adjusters in. Thanks goes out to James, Jeremy, Doug, and Ryan for their help! :thumbs:

Next I need to relocate the main mounts and the stabilizer and pitman arm stop.

Chris...

do you have a side shot?

flat off the bottom is allready low???.. I had a 50/50 beam it was supposed to be 1 1/2inch from stock up or down a total of 3"s of movement.. I sold it because I was concerned of it's functionality..

I want a 2-3 inch narrowed with adjusteres but not slammed just lowered...

are there adjuster location instructions somewhere??

Tommie,
I can get a side shot. The adjusters are actually rotated up a tad. If you wan't to make it neutral you would need to weld in the adjusters flat or perpendicular to the beam.
You running link or B/J

I would definitely go 3" in your case. Take a look at James' (CousinIt) ride. He is running 3" on his '67 bug.

First car; dark blue
