Go with indian automotive, a.k.a Kruizin wagon. They welded adjusters into the front end for my ute. Works great:thumb

I dont know what the CBB beam is like compared to the Kruizin wagon one, but i found that the Kruizin wagon one was cheaper.:thumb

I think indian automotive sell the adjusters for $220 and you weld them in
( you dont have to remove the beam to fit this type of adjuster)
or $395 if they weld it in for you?
or they'll lower the whole lot for $800 front and back?

adjuster= adjustable beam ??

i rang them today about it they were heaps kool and they were talking about an adjustable front beam and bump stops for $880 the only bummer is i wouldnt have my baby for 3days 🙁

now this may sound dumb (partly the reason i didnt ask the man) but can you put drop spindels ( i think indian automotive call the "Angus Adjusters")on the adjustable front beam or do they already have them on or something ??.......
i just reckon it would be kool to go to a show then adjust the drop spindles right down and have it really mowing the lawn

any help is much appreciated:bounce

ive learnt that mike knows a hell of a lot more than me and probably then some. so i dont give advice...i can only say that if ring mike or go see him. tell him wha tyou are after he will give you all the right answers straight up. no glossy bullshit, self promoting crap. and in the end you will get first rate quality and a damn good ride.

The dropped spindles are not adjustable, they fit in place of the originals and give you a drop of about 3-4 inches.
to have an adjustable beam you have to fit adjusters
As you wanted to get to a show then lower the bus, you would need to have a jack with you as you need to raise the bus then get underneath and adjust the adjusters if you get what I mean.
