i have a 1994 with 205/60/15s on it im wondering how low i should go with it im doing a static drop really simple.. any advise? or any pics of a similar set up?

 

Maybe 3inches , w/a 3inch block pull a leaf and cranked torsions up front. But if you want it to ride good up front and you have the cash use drop spindles

 

I have a 93' and I recently lowered mine. Im running 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 in the rear, 18x8 225/40/18 in the front. I did 3" blocks and middle leaf removed in the rear, and 2" bell tech spindles and loosened torsion bars in the front.

 

did u notice any torque loss with those 18s or is it about the same cuz i might have to upgrade to 18s looks really good like that

 

I havent driven it since I lowered it, Im hopefully smoging it tomorrow. The last time I drove it was in August and back then it was lifted. There shouldnt be any power loss as the rear tires are very very close to the stock size.

 

Idk about torgue loss but when I had my 18s there's more traction because it's wider but there could be a power loss if the rims are heavyer

 

Yah my 225/45 r18 tires were like 1/8" smaller than the stock tires so it should be the same

 

what do u guys think about the dim 3/4 drop kit? and thanks for the advise guys i appreciate it

 

9tre

drop spindles, cranked torsions, monoleafed with coil springs (going to flip leafs soon),3in. blocks, kybs all around, 17in. lex IS rims/ 205/40/17s

 

damn dude that hella clean. how does it ride being monoleafed?

 

its rides all right but im going to put bottom leaf back in its soft and cant really put any kind of weight in the back.

 

ya that makes since do u think if i just clamped mine it would support a dirt bike?

 

maybe with a flipped overload and bottem leaf you could stiffin it up a bit

 

with the main leaf the bottom and a flipped overload leaf and good shocks of course you could support about 200lbs

 

jus go low untill it looks good.trust me i dropped my truck about 4 day in a row and ill probably go lower tomorrow lol

 

U could probly still hold about 5-600lbs

 

Yeah, I noticed a huge drop in acceleration with the 18's.

I do highly recommend getting drop spindles, it will maintain the ride in the front. The rear will still ride a little rough cause its lowered.

I'm running Belltech 2" drop spindles, 3" blocks, and Toxic drop shocks at all 4 corners. Torsions and leafs are stock.

The back is sittin a little lower than normal, my winter wheels/tires are in there.

 

when i did my slam on my 86, i did it with all the ideal components. anyone who rode in my truck was always amazed at how nice it rode with it being as low as it was.

look it up... up front i had 2" belltec spindles, 1 1/4" b/j flip, 3" djm lower control arms, SAW torsion bars cranked in to ride height, and all bushings replaced to energy suspension poly's. rear i had 3" belltec drop leafs and a 4" drop block, hellwig rear sway bar, notched at the axle and notched at the rear cab crossmember, bilstein's all the way around.

yes, i had around 1000 bucks in suspension but it was all worth it with how well it rode and handled.

 

I would go as low as you can

 

205/70/14s. Dropped via torsions n 3" blocks. No rubbage in the front. Sadly never got to drive it =(
