Makes sense, because the biggest problem is getting air under the vehicle... I saw one last weekend that was _so_ low (How low was it?) he only had 3/4" inch between the muffler and the ground. He told me he had taken his suspension components and "flipped" them left to right. For instance, his reduction boxes were upside down. The only tires he could run on it were those useless "temp" tires you find in the trunks of modern cars. He sez, and I quote, "Its not so bad. You only hit the mufflers and the steering box." The STEERING BOX? C'mon! What was eespecially sar, was this is 21-window. Sniff. This bus was so low, I could look DOWN into the sunroof. I'm only 6'2" tall!
