I've been told that link pin beam will let me go lower than ball joint but still have some drivability too. As for the wifes boobs well they aint too big so should be ok there, but they are still very nice though ;)

Its docked at holland and going to kieft en klok very soon. Then Paul from T2d and myself are of to pick it up. So I am hoping it will be at T2d for the magic work within 4-6 weeks. Got me some nice flat 4 fuchs ready for her too. Hard to find 4.5x15 front and 5.5x15 rear in polished, only cost me 2 days labour too ;)
 
Mine is on K&L beam , with dropped spindles . which i have heard gives a more stock ride , my van is down 7 - 8 inches and rides REALLY well 8)

I like the idea of this :D I think maybe westy68 should start us off. Don't think my wife would be too keen on it though :(
 
lol :lol: :lol: like it and catchy.. THE BALLJOINT BOOB BOUNCE! il have to drop the bus again.. lol.

serious note though does the link pin arms fit on a ball joint beam? i loved the stance my bus had and would like to go back to it..

They may fit - seem to recall a volksworld feature by Creative suggesting that they could be made to fit but that it wasn't advisable due to the difference in lengths in trailing arms being incompatible with the arc that they travel in as a result of the torsion tubes being further apart on a ball joint beam.
Will try and dig it out ;)
 
Well the bus is en route to england now, T2d are picking it up now from kieft en klok and I've got my shiney wheels ready to bolt on her too.
Here it is sitting at KnK waiting to come home (well to T2d).

Bet your getting excited dude , Keep us up to date with pictures ;)
 
Yeah just a bit. Going to T2D on tuesday for first look at it.
 
Went down to see Paul at T2D today to see my bus for the first time.....and what a peach.

Much better than I expected it to be. Totaly original paint exept the o/s/r quarter, looks to have had a new battery tray and has been painted. Cab floors have a bit of surface rust and a small area of surface rust at bottom of screen.

So now it's here the magic will soon start.

This is how its looking now ( the height will soon change)
