The real answer is: DON'T LOWER THE FREAKIN BUS! Did you hear the story about
the man and his wife from Sequin on the way to TP4? Their lowered bus with
dropped spindles and an adjustable narrowed beam: Driving along the highway
the adjusters apparently came loose, the nose of the bus dropped, the front
tires locked up on the fender wells, and they went skidding down the highway
with no steering and the front end supported only by the steering box grinding
along on the pavement. Made me want to run home and lower all my busses.

shocks won't fix that issue. That's the bump stops not coming into
play.
If you have a narrowed or aftermarket beam (like me) you watch for the bumps.
I'm actually thinking of fabing up
a couple of bump stops to work on my wagenswest beam. In Dallas there's
too many )(*)(*#@! dips, potholes and everything
so I always hear the squeel of the tires.
