Lesson learned.
If the beam is bare, you will need:

Nope i tried that already what do you mean when you put the trailing arms on, the grub screw is opposite where it should be? Like just isnt close enough or totally in the wrong... .

I'm using 145/65/15s on 4.5 fuchs with a 4.5 bagged beam, with drop spindles and discs and I can check out the thread.
