Please could someone explain how easy or hard it is to lower my bus, we have several aftermarket accessories here in the U.K. but I am very confused because it either seems expensive or fairly inexpensive and surely it must be one or the other.

Lowered spindles are the quickest way to lower the front but they will off set the wheels aprox 3/4 inch and there is no adjustment in height. A lowered beam is a great way as you can adjust the height but it takes much longer to instal. I would go the way of the beam ( I have it in both my buses) As for the rear, It is as simple as a beetle when it comes to lowering. All you have to do is re set the torsion bars (1 notch is good for most).

Thanks for info, now can I use the original beam or an aftermarket one and any idea of cost to buy beam. thanks bus maniac.

all the beams we build, use good used cores, when you buy a beam from us, you either pay a core charge for the beam, or bring us your old one. you can call us (jim geoff or danny) and we can talk you through it.
thanks -dan
btw our adjustable beams are $549.95 plus core
