Front coilovers

[SVT1077]

Is there any reason why a cool over conversion won’t work on I-beams? The coil is huge and the shock is right next to it. Why can’t I just build brackets to accept coilovers?

I think mainly it's because there's not a lot of need for them. You can go about as low you could want with the beams and it won't give you any particular improvements.

What would the benefit be if you didn't ditch the beams?

I was wondering that too, I guess it's just a ride height thing?

I asked Innovaspeed, a company designing a new front end for OBS trucks, he said there would not be any gain over what’s already available.
I brought this up because I am a professional Rabbit Holer, (do not try this at home) and am already adding 4 link with coilovers and thought, hey I should add more work and swap this front end coilovers. I do not want a super low stance, 1-2” so I thought it would be cheaper to do 4 coilovers than 2 coilovers, custom springs and then adjustable shocks. Metal fabrication is fairly easy for me.
