Down she goes

My mates bus has been stock since he got it 2 years ago so the other day i made some drop spindles for him and we got to work fitting them up.
They worked a bit better than expected so he had to go and buy some new wheels because the old ones were slightly to big to fit under the tub once we had finished.

just drop spindles and one spline at the back good stance i think and the wheels look good to

This is mine with the same spindles on but with adjusters and narrowed

I do love a low bus

great work mate - love the stance - please tell me how to make dropped spindles work without tyres rubbing and the beam getting a hammering. what shocks/tyres you running and have you kept standard shocks at the back??????

Did you say you made your own dropped spindles?

Made the spindles at home took some work. Got some stronger ball joints pressed and flipped the arms have been running these for a while they seem to hold up well and have been through quite a bit of a hammering .

I run spax adjustable shocks at the frount and shorter gas adjust on the rear as far as hitting the beam goes i cut 3" off the bottom and welded some skid plates on to (sort of ) protect the beam works ok for me and the ride is good just wish i made my tubbs bigger so i could go lower
