Bay window rear suspension

Hey guys, I am working again on my project. I am doing small modifications to the rear suspension in order to get to my final goal (laying frame).
I changed 3 splines on the rear spring plates and it dropped the bus to the max and the tires have a little angle on them, but not too much. I notched the frame 2 inches so nothing touches the frame (temporary). I have horseshoe plates, but I need to install some aftermarket frame rails for the massive drop. I work at a parts store and just so happens that I went to a Monroe Shocks class a few weeks ago and they were talking about air shocks. I found the correct height, and size air shocks with a 7inch travel. I put them on, but the suspension will only give me about 3inch to 3.5 inch travel. Different from the independent front suspension beam I have, the rear is connected by that torsion bar. How does this bar operate under normal conditions?
Can I remove this bar to get independent suspension? Is 3inches of travel the most I will get in the rear suspension? During the removal of parts, the bar came out to far and it was hard to get back in, I read in the samba that they are supposed to be under load, and at specific angle settings.

I AM CONFUSED, NEED SOME TECHNICAL HELP.

Honestly, go with the new fad..............stock. Raise that bay back up to a respectable height and hold your head high when you ride.

My idea is to have the Bus resting on the pavement when the vehicle is not in motion and then raising the vehicle up about 5-6 inches and for normal driving.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A DAILY DRIVER.

YOU NEED TO BE LOW SO WHEN YOU GET OLD YOU CAN WALK STRAIT IN WITH YOUR WALKER AND SIT DOWN

I know this is not the norm over here, but I just need some technical knowledge on this type of suspension. I don't want to take something off and then my bus falls apart.
