lowering bus with reduction boxes

Post by habeeb »

I am new to busses and was wondering if I could lower my 57 single cab in the rear without removing the reduction boxes? I want to try and keep it stock but lower it at the same time. I guess I could do a swap if I had to.....Thanks Jamie

It's possible, but you can't go that low without MAJOR camber in the back and some twisting of the spring plates. If you don't mind the camber you'll also have to notch your plates to clear the torsion housing.

Ultimate drop: flip the RGBs -6" in the weeds

Never tried it myself and never will, but the ultra low guys do it.
