Hi there,

i have a 58 PGSG with IRS conversion with beetle gearbox and arms.

I have seen several lower busses with irs conversion.

I can use adjustable springplates, but the other parts are allready near to cut to get more lower.

Can anyone help me, how to get this one lower? what went wrong or is the next step to cut the mainframe?

Thanks for all your help, Ben

That is all the lower your can go with stock beetle arms without notching the frame rails.


This is what you need to go lower, as well as correct geometry issues and have much more travel before the spring plate bottoms out on the top stop
