I'm curious what others have done to prevent scraping your drag link and
screwing up your steering box? My drag link is really the only thing that scrapes
(and the tow hook) and was wondering if people have mods to address this? I
know in the split bus world they do a steering box mod to raise it up since it sits
lower than the bays, wasn't sure if someone had a mod for bays.

I have a WW 4" narrowed beam, WW 2.5" dropped spindles, beam adjusted half
way down with 175/65/14 tires/stock rims.

Thanks.
 
Thought I would bump this in case anyone has some input. I ended up raising my front a bit to solve
the issue but there must be other options, especially with some of the slammed UK buses I see.

Glad to see the board back, hopefully they get it moved soon to solve the peformance issues.
 
Did it scrape under normal driving? If so its got to be pretty low! Mine (and the towing eye as you say) only ever scrapes when I am mounting the kerb.

Be interesting to hear of any mods to get round this.
