Baja bus question?
crazyfiggi - April 20th, 2005 at 05:48 PM

Hey everyone, how far can you lift a baja bus with adjusters in the beam and turned splines in the rear with notched spring plates? How high can you go before there is to much of and angle on the cv joints and the ball joints run out of travel? Im building a baja bus and want to lift it as much as possable without having to lower the box + motor and the front beam.
Thanks heaps,
Alex.

not sure how high you can go on the front with adjusters as my old bus had a 4"plate welded in but the rear was up just one spline ,most of the lift comes from wheels and tyres

Thats a cool baja bus. Are they any good offroad, or are they just big, heavy, slow and laggy fat things on wheels. Whats the stability like on one of those?
