How much did you narrow the beam? And also did you flip the spindles and put them on the other side (right side spindle on left side and flipped)?? Looks good, Is the steering box raised

Lowering a bus like this is so wrong.

But it makes it look so right, so cool. :hangloose: :hangloose: :hangloose:
