40 outers 44 inners...and then it gives degrees of drop but no where does it 
give inches on outers or inners, it says all this garbldy goop about 8 degrees 
and 30 min. and 10 degrees and 8 min. or some nonsense like that but never does 
it say it in inches or meters or anything.

I would have to go look in the book to see how much different there is between 
inner and outer.  They are different, but not that much and 3 splines is a lot. 
 You are not going to be able to tell till you get the engine in and roll the 
bus till the suspension settles.

That should lower the bus a BUNCH!  Maybe too much if you really went down 3 
splines.

on the bus...i have a question though, the outersplines were all gobbled up and 
i couldn't get them to align so i marked and measured the torsion bar and i 
pulled it out got the spring plate on and then i put the torsion bar back on 
turning the inner splines 3 clicks instead of the outers two...how much should 
that lower the bus? it only went down an inch and a half but i don't have a 
motor in it and it hasn't rolled back and forth or anything allowing the 
suspension to "settle" as chad says. how much more do you think it will drop 
after it settles? it looks awesome and would be even more awesome if it would 
come down like an inch or so
 (which it should with the motor in it.

how much will settling allow it to come down?

i'm doing the right tonight and hopefully stabbing the motor this weekend

it's almost ready for the road again, just have to measure and get some smaller 
than stock shocks for the front
