Beam raise

[fleeb1]

How much difference does a beam raise make to ride quality?

I've got a king and link beam, dropped spindles, notches and tubs. It's got bug pack red shocks. Would changing them help?

Ive not heard great things about the bugpack shocks on low busses lie yours Lee

They're not great mate. What shocks do you have on yours?

I have BOGE ones on the rear , and KYB GR2s on the front !

I've got Bugpack reds too..... Shit.

They do the job mate, just a bit too firm for me. Changing the shocks has to be cheaper than a beam raise. Always a silver lining.

Is there a smaller shock out there to purchase ? I think the bugpack and kyb gr2's compress to 245mm so if you go softer in the same size they will bottom out.
I've got the gr2's but in the 265mm and they bottom out with two up front on uneven roads and I'm 510mm floor to arch ,not as low as you guys.
If I fitted the 245mm gr2's this would work but then if I lowered it 20mm I'd be in the same predicament :| The gr2's are a nice ride though

I was looking at SPAX adjustables , but wasnt sure what size to get
