Looks like you already have the good tyres size Smile

Of course you'll need an adjustable/narrowed beam ( 4 inchs?) and go IRS back

I would consider leaving the height like it is and putting that money into a paint job. I'm not trying to be a jerk, sorry if that comment came off that way. Just my honest first thought.

I know that bus, we hanged out at Prado with you and your girls. Cool You should make your own lowered front beam and side plates, and narrow it yourself too. My buddy has a single cab that he did that with and it is slammed.

If you're talking about Chris that was a CB 2" beam that he cut an extra 2" out of. It's lowered for sure, but it's not slammed at all Wink

You can get there with some work...

Straight axle kit in the rear
Adjusters on your beam
Stock wheels will help with tuck in the front, but you can also narrow a little more for BRM offset

Check out the links above for answers!

I am going to do 4" narrow beam with adjusters, my spindle are already flipped and going to stick with the current wheels on sc speed master wheels, straight axel kit? I do not have to change out my tranny? I was under the impression that I would need to switch to a type 1 tranny and if im doing that might as well go with freeway flyer caused this stick trans SUCKS! cant go past 55mph Mad

Freeway flyer rebuilt trans if you can spend the $, put it all together right and be done with it. Might need a small notch in the frame rails for your tie rods too, mine was that low but raised it a click didn't want to notch it or raise the box. Four inch beam with flipped spindles also, will be a cool truck when your done.

With that stance and that driveway, your definitely going to need a steering box raise. Even then you will still scrape the bottoms of your front bumper over riders.

Also, you will have to change your exhaust. I recommend the vintage speed sport exhaust for lowered buses, but a stock exhaust will work if you cut the tip off some. Maybe A1 sidewinder or csp Python as well but I'm not as familiar with those.

Your atleast gonna want 4" but for the stock rim, king tuck look you'll be happier with a 6"+ with the speedmasters. Have you seen the panscrapers or maybe it's radikal bugs, blue pressed bumper SC on speed masters?

If your changing trans out, think hard about whether to go IRS or swing axle, as your gonna be changing out everything as you go. This can also be a good time to think about brake upgrades.

In the back I'd say either go IRS or get the offset dogleg adjustable plates.

If your thinking about tubs, how tall are you? How big are you? I've sat in tubbed buses, I am not a fan unless you modify the seat to remain in the stock location.

It's crazy how 3 more inches can be so much work and cost $!
