beam

The StillStatic caddy beam is something we've been developing since first owning a caddy in 2004. With over 12 years of modified caddys we are well experienced in the pitfalls of the fixed rear beam with extreme lowering of a 2K caddy, such as exhaust clearance, petrol tank clearance, wheel centre and wheel offset issues, side load door clearance the list goes on.. while some do overcome this with a narrowed rear beam set to a fixed width, or by installing a maxi straight beam to clear the petrol tank on swb models the same problems of lopsided wheel fitment and ultimately how the van drives as the end result are still an issue. Our beam resolves every element from an engineering solution and can be used as a static set up or converted to air. What is so special about our beam ? Based on a twist beam our beam is narrowed overall by 40mm and put back to standard track by spacing of the hub, this allows for fine tuning of camber, toe, and offset change. The beam when narrowed is checked to be completely equal so as to help eliminate the offset wheel fitment commonly seen on many caddys. No petrol tank clearance issues so no need for the straight beam. The original roll bar and drop links are retained both when used as an static set up of air. Option of retaining original damper, we recommend our improved H&R shortened harder damper but other options available. Height adjustable hub, by moving the hub position upto 100mm you can visually lower the rear height without changing the fixed beam position. Track adjustable , as the beam is narrowed and put back to stock track width by changing spacing between end plate and beam the overall track can be increased allowing better wheel clearance gaining the ultimate tuck on the rear wheels. Camber/toe adjustable, by changing the spacing between end plate and beam. Wheel center adjustable forward/back to center in arch built into the lowering shackles. When used as an air set up the wheel position is moved to its highest point with leaf swappe and a single below bag is installed between chassis rail and beam, this overally gives a much more compliant controlled rear seat up helping to overcome " beam float" the side to side movement seen on caddys when lowered. This kit is only available for short wheel base caddys not the maxi but we can make a custom maxi beam on request. End plate brake kit options of 330mm twin caliper kit 356mm twin caliper kit or stock brakes, only available as part of the beam kit not available for standard beam. we have proven the beam is effective and used it out own caddy with as both a static set up and converted to air for 3 years.
