They will fit, but your brakes won't fit to the spindles so your only option is to replace your calipers and discs too if you want to use those splindles. Others that would work with your current brakes are available (flipped ones) but they are much lower.

 

Thanks for the advice, Looks like ill be keeping stock height, Front end sits high when loaded,

Hiya Chris,
That’s pretty much how they sit at stock height, then when a couple of grown ups get in the front, it sort of balances it out. I’ve been lowered as most on here have at some point, then you gotta kid yourself that it rides so much better but with less suspension, like I said , you gotta kid yourself. Then eventually I’ve managed to raise my garage door to be able to get in at stock and a tad higher, so now I’m stock height plus a tiny weeny bit higher and it rides fab.

The easy way out is to raise the rear end using rotation of the the torsion bars and the spring plates on the torsion bars, if you feel it looks a bit low at the rear.
If the rear suspension rubber doughnuts are in good condition, this only costs time not parts, and is reversible. (maybe need some longer bolts for pulling the covers back on the end of the torsion bar, maybe new doughnuts while you are in there, because if they become permanently deformed, they can cause the rear suspension to slightly sag)
You may also need a reasonable breaker bar to actually undo some of the bolts holding the hub carrier onto the spring plate.

 

I confess that I thought the front of my bus looked silly, but now realise that if I'd been sat in it, then the bus would have been level .... lowered it on beam adjusters which lowers it enough to go in garage.... this was before I joined the forum and had the wealth of information available on here.
