Can anyone give me the right height from the ground to the gutter for a stock bus? Been playing around with my IRS and lost the plot!!!!!!!! Want to get her back up a decent height, stock minus rgb?
Many thanks, Mark

Thanks Will,
Going to play with the IRS and get it back up to about 64'' and all should look good!
Cheers, Mark

SH11TT was my idea of a joke on the splinter groups within the Split Screen community
My van is a Standard Height 11 window Tin Top. But the main criteria is Standard Height so you are welcome to join especially as you are in New Zealand. Been there years ago loved the place
