Baja Bus / Lifted Kombi Front Beams now availible
For all those people out there who want a lift in life Custom Offroad now offers Baja Bus beams with up to 4" plus of lift. These beams use the plate
lift method and also have adjusters fitted so you can have the best of both worlds.
Once fitted you can simply slide your beam up and down to suit your driving requirements.

I'm not too sure about this, but I know that u guys have the same thing available for the beetle chassis (for buggies and bajas). But (I'm not to
sure on this), can 4 inches make a real difference?
I'm not bagging, and im not saying its not, I was just wondering.

Ok good question.. basically teh beams themselves are LEGAL .. but fitting them to your bus requires and inspection. In QLD max lift via plates is 2"
and adjusters is 2" So at 2" they are fine. In NSW you need to get an engineer inspection also but I understand that there is no limit on height
down there. That is how CBB get theirs through.
We do not make adjustable spring plates as yet due to the fact that most I have seen are too weak for off road duties. Only takes about an hour or so
to do the rear torsion bars.
Cost - check out the website - http://www.customoffroad.com.au for accuarte
cost. At time or writting this are $770 exchange. That includes the centre adjusters.

Night Nav run a while ago, but to date its never tipped over......:thumb
