my bus has a total of .5" of suspension travel with it being 6" lower. but i have alot of stress on my springs. if you have strictly drop spindles then you have like 1-2" of travel which will allow the tires to whack the fender wells if you have stockers on it. there was a bus at transporters that looked like that and i wondered if he was whackin' his fenderwells too.
perhaps it was you??? it was a white bay with empi's on it.

Yes, this is Denis.I don't know that you can adjust the front torsion springs, you just
pull
out the (in my case) tired and corroded springs and replace them with
a
clean set from a junkyard.Coilovers may make your suspension travel less in a bounce, but that
means
your ride is more harsh. Paul has coilovers. ( Paul has everything).
Like
the gas adjust, they won't raise or lower your bus, they just reduce
the
travelAirbags will solve your problems, be expensive, give a harsh ride,
but they
will solve the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Woodall" <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 2:15 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: GR2 vs. Gas-AdjustI assume this is Denis and not Chuck? Yeah, I remember your debacle. How did you adjust your front torsion springs? I always thought they were fixed? Coilovers might be a good change. chuck blue wrote:Eric, I am surprised if you hadn't heard of my whole drama with thetires rubbing from the lowering. I worked hard for a long time to
stop
the tires from rubbing. I even changed out the torsion springs (
which
actually helped. Mine were all stuck together and weren't reallyspringing much). The thing I did that helped the most was adjusting
my
springpla
tes higher. It's not too hard and it cost nothing. Murray
does not sit as low as he did before, but it really did help. I can carry a passenger now and it rarely rubs. Lower profile tires in the front help, too, but that's a whole other discussion. If I was to make a new bus project I think I would still lower it at least some. The campers, like Fred's for instance, sits quite a bit lower than Chuck's Bluebus, which sits way high. I guess this is the result of all the weight the camper holds. So, if you wanted a passesger bus to be lower and stay stock, you have to carry some concrete bags or lead ballast bars. I like the feel of a lowered bus.----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Woodall"
