How much narrower is a k&l beam than a ball joint beam..both standard?
I need to know how much to narrow the k&l beam so need to know the difference im dealing with first of all

My understanding and on this I am no expert is that it is not narrower but that the bottom tube sits an inch or two higher and this is the main reason for people switching across as it gives the ultra slammed boys more ground clearance. Personally unless your going REALLY low there is absolutely no benifit for going backwards technology wise

Cheers.. i read somewhere that possibly the arms are narrower than balljoint beams.. but im not sure hence trying to find out as i don't want to narrow the beam too much.

ive gone to k&l because my balljoint beam sat too low to the tarmac when lowered.. i wanted to go lower but couldn't because of this reason

Anyone know if it is dorky narrower or not??
