I have a 74 with the Bus Boys lowered front beam as low as it can gowith front snubbers cut off, and the rear torsion adjusted two notches down.

It rides 1/2" off of the rear snubbers which of course rides the frame.

Everyone has a solution for the front (cutting off ft. snubbbers) now what about the rear. Can you cut them in half, take them out, or what?

Let me hear ya lowered Bays!

By the way thanks for all the help in dropping the bus. It looks great and rides good minus the rear.

what was the ride like ? did the tires bottom out on the underside of the body ? is it puttting too much stress on the torsion bars to allow it to travel that much?
