My tires are rubbing on the inner wheel wells where the metal dips down 2" from under the seats when it hits a big bump, with the spacers it will move my wheels about an 1" out, giving me 1.5" to lower the front even more.

| Somewhere in the galleries there is a pic of a bus with small wheelwell tubs next to the front seat. Then you could go even lower. |

I dont really like modifications I cant put back to stock... I love the lowered look on any vehicle. I think the lower the better, but on the bus you need to raise the steering box or covert it to a rack and pinion if you are tubing the front and think of a way to mount the seats.

Thats a ok job on making room on the sides but it would have been better to narrowed the beam than to mess w/ the body. Its still look like it would rub when you turn...
This is the future... just have to find a way to mount the seats and make the steering box work.
