    First drop is done. 3 inch blocks in the rear. Torsion re-key up front. Shocks and bj flip soon. Front needs to be a little lower.


    Still need new wheels and tires.

    Ya dig it?

    Seems to be a bunch of minis coming out of WA these days. Which side of the state are you in?

    Nice truck man. I'm running the same drop..... until I buy drop spindles, then I'll shove my 4" blocks back on. Do the full ball joint flip should net you really close to 1 1/2 inches. I never re keyed my torsions since I'm getting spindles. :waytogo:

    Just flipped the ball joints last night. Safe to stack a 1 inch block on the 3 in the back?

    NO!! Don't do that... You will be in for a world of hurt when they slip apart. Get you some 4" with 2° angle. Beefed taco makes a set.
