Hi Guys,

If you used a 2 inch narrowed beam, how much shorter would your tie rods need to be.

Also is it just a matter of tapping the thread the same amount deeper.

Cheers

they would be the same

Yes cut the RH ends only 1 inch from both rods as its harder to get a LH thread Tap

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Yep, 1" from each tie rod off the rh thread end and retap deeper....easy. 🙂
