I've been reading the posts on lowering the bus with the intention of lowering my single cab a little, but only in front... The way the truck sits now, the wheelwell is 5-6" clear of the tire (maybe a little less) but the back looks just fine...

Is it naive to think just the dropped spindles will be the solution? I think I read they were good for about a 3" drop.

Wideride,

As it stands now. My drop spindles have lowered my bus 3-4 inches. It doesn't sound like much BUT with out dropping the back my busses A$$ is way up in the air (maybe a 15 degree angle?). Looks like a 70's muscle car. You may be better off with an adjustable beam. Greg at vintagewarehouse will do it for you.

Where is Vintage Warehouse located?
I'd like to talk to someone that does this on a regular basis. The mechanic I've been consulting with is familiar with most of these proposals I've suggested, but not whole-hearted!

Thanks for the information yesterday. While I enjoy the convenience of eMail and forums, there's nothin' like talkin' to someone, all-be-it over the phone, but my options are a lot clearer and as I am finding, prioritizing is the real challenge!

I think I'll hold off on the fuzzy dice and glamour rings and concentrate on stuff what doesn't show.
