Beam Raise Modification Kit
This Beam Raise Modification Kit includes the supporting components to modify your 1955-1979 VW Bus frame for a 1.25" (32mm) Beam Raise. This benefits both static and air ride VW Bus aftermarket suspensions.
Cutting & welding required, you must be proficient at both.
This will effectively create the space to move your complete front suspension 1.25" higher in to the body, thus lowering your suspension further & gaining an additional 1.25" of ground clearance. You will be required to then raise the adjustment on your static front end about 5-6 teeth (CSP Adjuster) to be at the same ride height as before, thus increasing your suspension performance, control arm angles and ride comfort.
Note: Your aftermarket suspension must already have the provisions in the side plates to move your suspension up in to the body 1.25"(32mm). This often times looks like an additional set of Bolt holes in the side plates to accommodate this. We can provide you with a drill template to add in these additional holes to your side plates, if you do not already have them. Your shock tower length may also need modification to clear the body above it as it is now 1.25" closer to the floor.
An instructional video will be available in the last quarter of 2025, via YouTube. Installation time is approximately 6 hours, depending on your skill level.
Kit includes:
(1) 2.5" hole saw fixture
(2) 11 ga. frame gussets
(2) 2.5" flap wheels.
Cutting & welding required, you must be proficient at both.
