So, since you started a thread about your bus, how about some info on the build.

I made everything except for Nate's horseshoe plates.

4-1/2" narrowed, adj., linkpin
Flipped spindles (done myself)
C-notched for tie rods

-1 spline on the torsion
Horseshoe
C-notched for axles
Modded springplates

Bug shocks rear, no shocks front.

Std bus shocks would have been too long when adjusting the torsions/springplates. Bug shocks are about perfect.

This thread is year old. You might want to send him a PM, as it's quite likely he won't read your question.
