hi im in the process of repairing my engine at mo so my lowering job has been put back a few months

i do want to lower it greatly as i intend to camp with it i just want to lower the front end 2" and leave the wheels/tyre as standard, if any else is running a bus were they have just leveled it up by pulling the front down can you post up some pics so i can get an idea of what it will look like

Like this?

Adjusters on the front with new stock shocks all round...I may change these though as it is a bit bouncy.

Slamwerks adjustable spring plates on the rear to give a softer more stock ride.

With this set up I can go lower (or higher!?!), but tyre choice would then come into play...I am planning on a set of chromes one day!
