    the only bad thing about cranking down the torsion bars is your front tires are gonna wear on the inside alot faster because of the camber. Other than that I see no problem with it. just rotate your tires regularly! as far as links... I can give you a few sites that are good: GrantKustoms.com,candospecialties.com, suicidedoors.com,gravity-werx.com, avsontheweb.com.. I've got alot more but that should get you started

    It looks like a 4/5 static drop. I would guess 2" drop spindles and screwed torsion bars up front and a single leaf stock spring pack and 3" blocks in the rear.

    Here's my junk. screwed torsion bars, with 2 inch blocks out back. Rides like crap on a rough road. I'm going to put spindles on it later so I can get a normal ride back.
