Hi guys. After few months whitout working on it, i restart my toywagen project. I ve buy 4" lowering block for the rear and my question is, can i lowering 4"the front of my truck just whit the cheap méthode( bj flip and cranck torsion bar) . I know this is not the best way for it but for example, if i buy à drop spindle kit , whit taxe and shippment , it coast me near to 500 Buck. Thanks for reply and sorry for my bad english.
You can, exactly as you explained. Just get the front end in the air and move the spindles up (Balljoint flip). The torsion bars aren't as easy, you have to keep adjusting them til you're at the height you want.
if you drop with a BJ flip, it will give you a drop equal to the thickness of the ball joint and the control arm, about an inch, and then if you can lower the torsions that much, sure go for it, but lowering the torsion bars 3" is going to give you some baaaad negative camber. Pretty much, do whatever you can and then definitely get an alignment.
You are most welcome. I'm excited to see the results, I'm not acquainted with those VWs, though I have come across some of the older smaller diesels.
Look up sd yota's torsion rekeying, you can lower it as much as you want, keep the factory preload and the camber isn't that bad, at least on mine
