Splits sit ~1.5" higher on the nose when a bay balljoint beam is installed so lets assume a bay would drop a similar amount with a split beam.

But as already mentioned why downgrade?

With the cost to King and link pins, better off staying balljoint.

At least that's what I'm trying to do anyway.

Yes, it is called a downgrade to handling, for 68-69 as a bolt on, have no idea how much lower it would be, maybe somebody that has done it will pop in.

Not that any of the people that are dropping their busses really care about handling anyway. Laughing
