Lowering without notching, parts needed?

[herrmmy]

Hi,

My bus is currently stock height which isn't for me. I will within time (more funds become available) go super low, but for the mean time I want to take it from stock height to as low as I possibly can without having it notched. I'm not too clued up on what parts I will need to lower it? Any advice would be very helpful. Thank as always!

The up shot is, you can go about two and a half to three inches lower on the front with Transporterhaus lowered spindles with flipped ball joints, you’ll need some custom coil overs to help with the springing. After that you can gain another half an inch or maybe up to an inch and a half with some lower profiled tyres but check they are up to the weight. Anything more than this and you’ll need a King and link pin old style beam then we start talking about notching and tubbing etc etc. Go a bit careful because it does get a bit addictive for some

You'll also be able to go lower without notching on a 68 as the chassis is different to later models.

This single cab is a 68 and lowered with no cuts.
