VW Rear Torsion Raise & Gusset Kit | Beetle & Ghia Ride Height up to 3" | 1/4" Steel
Raise the rear of your classic Volkswagen up to 3 inches with a clean, strong, weld-in solution. This Torsion Raise & Gusset Kit re-indexes your rear torsion housing for added ride height while reinforcing the chassis — perfect for off-road builds, Baja Bugs, and lifted street cars that need clearance without sacrificing strength.
The main plate is CNC-cut from 1/4" steel and ships with four gussets to triangulate and stiffen the area around the raise, so your new ride height holds up to real-world abuse.
