ok so this has probs been asked before but.....
what is the best way for more lows on a budget?
i got 2 inch blocks according to previous owner but want to go to 3-4 inch, would it be better to keep the 2" blocks and get my leafs reset or go out and buy bigger blocks? and in the front just wind the torsion barsm or is the something i can buy to drop it?
please nothing too expensive

 

Ball Joint flip is free and can net you 1" to 1 1/2". Check out SD Yotas write up in the " How To" section. 3" blocks are just fine you won't run into problems. Just take your bump stops out. I have the same set up and I don't hit my frame even on big bumps. Then check out SD Yotas write up on to "torsion bar re key" to level out your drop. Then if ya want more drop buy drop spindles they will cost about 200ish. Hope this helps.

 

You can also pull a leaf from the spring pack. Itl bring down another inch (depending how many leafs are in the pack)

 

If you take the air out of the tires, that will net you another couple inches

 

Hmmmmmm keep going...... lol

 

this guy haha

 

Just pull the wheels completely off. Lol.

No but seriously thats about it on the cheap.

 

Belltech spindles and some DJM arms in front and Belltech leafs and some 3" blocks in back, with c-notch.

Or, ball joint flip and the spindles, or the arms, and the same as above for the rear.

 

Exactly what I did. Spindles, Arms, BJ flip with leafs and 4" blocks. Not exactly cheap, but rides great and sits like this on stock wheels.

 

Nice. She's sitting perfect.

 

thanks ill have a look for those write ups

i might try that wil be real low...... in the shed lol

 

Your welcome. The spacers/washers needed for the ball joint flip if you choose to use spacers are 12mm .

 

Thanks Beef

 

Gr8, how close is the driveshaft to the rear cab crossmember ? Any tire rubbing? Looks awesome btw!

 

Might have the 2pc driveshaft, its a longbed

 

Good call

 

Thanks!

The driveshafts are fine, mainly cause I have beef taco's crossmember notches. One behind the cab and the other back by the axle. Otherwise I'm pretty sure it'd be rubbing.

The front tires rub, pretty sure it'll go away if I ever get around to removing the plastic inner fender and fold up the metal lip on the inside of the fender so it's flat.

 

im thinking of doing the swap tomorrow what is the torque settings for the bolts?

 

Let's see..... The top ones are going to be 31 N-m or 23 ft - lbf. And as for the bottom 127 N-m or 97 ft - lbf. Good luck

 

cheers ill get some before and after pics if i get to it
