EMPI Long-Travel Front Shock Tower Kit for VW Link-Pin Beams

This EMPI kit replaces the short original shock towers on a link-pin VW front beam with taller weld-on mounts for an off-road suspension build. Along with the tower pair, it includes lower shock-mount extension hardware, distinguishing the kit from the tower-only pair. The taller mounting points provide room for longer shocks; usable wheel travel still depends on the arms, joints, shocks, and chassis clearance.

Technical Details

• Part number: 17-2646-0
• Position: Front beam
• Tower specification: 10-inch taller design
• Material: 1/4-inch steel
• Finish: Raw
• Included: Two towers and lower shock-mount extension hardware
• Installation: Welding and fabrication

Fitment & Compatibility

For compatible link-pin front ends in Baja Bugs, dune buggies, and sand rails. Tack the towers in position and cycle the suspension to establish the shock's compressed and extended limits before final welding. Select shock length and mount geometry together; tower height is not a guarantee of wheel travel.
