Arch to ground measurements for standard height bus

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by Ben306, Jan 15, 2020.

  1. Hi all,

    I have a 72 crossover bus which Im planning to put drop spindles on and lower the rear by adjusting the splines. However Im trying to find what the standard ground to arch measurements would be for a standard ride height so I have a true starting point.

    Mine currently looks to "sag" a little at the rear, maybe because of the camper install so would just be nice to have a true starting point.

    Only thing I can find is 500mm from ground to the floor at the sliding door.

    There is supposed to be a bit of sag so a driver's weight levels it up.
    But I ended up making mine look " better" at rest with its about 75mm drop with cut and twist by raising the rear about 20mm.
    It also reduced scraping the exhaust on speed bumps.
