    hey team yota,

    just installed some djm control arms and belltech leafs. I noticed that the right rear of the truck is slightly lower than the left. Would cranking the torsion bar a few turns remedy this? Any suggestions before i do this? Everything appears to be installed correctly! Help!

    I'm very interested in seeing how these springs look and ride. Please keep us posted!

    The passenger side rear sits lower?

    Measure it and be sure. Didi you replace the shocks as well?

    They ride great! I also installed some doetsch tech nitro slammers. Unfortunately I only have one shot of the truck at the moment.. The shocks really help once you get moving. On my drive to work i didn't scrape the wheel wells once. I'm a little buzzed from a four-loko. Please disregard the fragmented convo.

    Get some pics up, of the inside of the truck? Did you take before and after pics of the drop.

    Cin,

    I may have to. Hard lefts and the rear passenger rubber starts rubbing the fender. I've been told everything from the phone book technique to baseball bats to roll 'em. I might just get someone to do it as I'm terrible with any body work.

    I purchased the shocks here: http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/. Really nice bunch, they even called to specify if i had drop leafs or blocks.

    Alright, back to wrenching :) Ride safe and low my brothers and sisters.

    phone book technique? what?


    find a fender roller to start off. it's an adjustable arm that bolts onto your hub where your wheel was. it has a rollerskate wheel on it basically and you just start off with slight pressure and heat the paint so it doesnt chip (with a hair drier or heat gun).

    basically do a few passes, then add more "pressure" which is the next click on the roller.

    eventually you'll get it rolled.


    but the fender pulling is a lil different.
