My bus is on stilts and I would like to bring it closer to earth! I'm not a big fan of the look of a narrowed beam so what's the lowest useable height I can get on a standard beam?

I had a 5-6 inch drop on mine (cut and turned beam ) with 175 tyres on ( biggest one that would clear and were border line on the Max weight limit for the tyre ).
Rear was dropped 2 outer splines with 185 tyres on . Must admit although it looked good the ride was quite harsh and speed bumps were a mare . The bottom of the beam had flattened off on the curves I had scraped it that many times . Maybe 2.5 / 3 inch dropped spindals could be an option as would lower and keep ride comfort also a lot less work than having to remove beam and maybe just 1 spline at back or use adjustable spring plates ?
