Why Raise the Roof?
The most popular reason is value. A raised roof coach is easier to sell and
usually is about $15,000 - $20,000 more value.

Have you ever stood in a passenger coach and looked out the windows?
You have to lean over to see out.
By raising the roof 8", you now can be standing and looking out your windows
without leaning as much.

By raising the roof, this enables you to square off the ceiling so as to give you a square attic for air conditioning
duct work and more insulation, not to mention access to wiring, recessed lighting, and recessed mir
rors. 

Raising the roof on a bus can be a very dangerous task without the proper skills and equipment.
Be very careful if you do this yourself.
MCI's, in particular, are a  monocoque design, meaning they do not have a center or lower chassis structure.
The roof is actually part of the shell structure integrity. 
Again,... Be very careful this can be very  dangerous, not only to property but to your life !!
