Captain Air Time July 4th, 2001, 05:05 pm Is there a shop in the Lower Mainland that is capable of bending Ford I-Beams correctly? Bringing them in from the 'States is just WAY too expesnive. Erik ------------------ I'm on my way to impact, Taste the high speed dirt! ChrisOlson July 4th, 2001, 07:19 pm Try VanIngen Steel They can bend just about anything....... As for what is correct though? I would show up with a drawing. ------------------ 1948 WILLYS flatfender/toyota Soon to require a Mile -per - year speedometer http://www.ottindustries.com [This message has been edited by ChrisOlson (edited July 04, 2001).] FearMe July 5th, 2001, 08:08 am Originally posted by Captain Air Time: Is there a shop in the Lower Mainland that is capable of bending Ford I-Beams correctly?

He's never done it, but has hung out with the Baja crowd for years and apparently knows his stuff. Just an idea.

Says the most that can be done (they send it out) is about 2 degrees of camber. that's not going to do much for me with 4" lift coils! We're talking probably 8 to 10* or so? I dunno, I'm just guessing. I'm open to more ideas. I may have to resort to fabricating my own I beams, something I'd rather not do, tho its cheaper than importing... ------------------ I'm on my way to impact, Taste the high speed dirt! Rockfrog July 16th, 2001, 01:57 am Don't forget about the Camber bushing ... most stock ones are set 0* so with 2* bent in, and aftermarket adjustable bushings you may be able to get close ... may be worth checkin out ( me I'm going SAS tho) ... just my $0.02 dave Dan July 16th, 2001, 06:10 pm Now if only I could find somebody to bend my radius arms for me. ------------------ Dan 91 Cherokee, mostly stock. 69 F100 mostly modified. 72 Datsun 510, mostly Bondo.
