    Hello I have a 1982 Toyota pickup and I have 3 inch blocks for the back. I want to lower the front. And I've heard you can either do a ball joint flip or adjust the torsion bars. What do you prefer I do ? So my ride will be end or a little bit dipped?

    BJ flip gets you about 1" re-keying the torsions can get you i think 2"+

    I myself would do both.

    Oh crap i didnt see the 82. My bad you cant do the bj flip. Trim the bumpstop and you should be able to go a little lower if your already bottomed out
