    Did you touch your torsions to go lower or the control arms and spindle did all that damage?.....nice setup btw.

    Right now the torsions I just tightened to about 3inches of thread after the top nut cause when I first had them at an 1 1/2" thread, the truck pretty much laid frame. The ride is waaaay better than before, close to stock actually, just the rear is kinda stiff cause of the new leafs and stiffer shocks.

    Yups haha, eh you know where to re-drill to bring up the taco bumper for make em more flush to the bed? Looks kinda ugly just sitting in the stock location.

    Pretty much yeah I guess, I brought them up close to stock torsion height and this is what I got.

    Now that's a thought hahaha, I was thinking of going 5" lift blocks but stacking the 3" blocks sounds better...And the slippers are temporary, I lost the bolts for my bump stops and now I gotta go buy new ones:doah:

    So stacking lift blocks would help raise it up a little? Are those the blocks under the leafs in your pics?

    ride looks nice. LCA and spindles do wonders. my torsions are indexed and cranked all the way up and i sit the same as you! ride quality is better then stock imo. looks good. you know one guy named ROMEL by any chance? (hawaiis illlest)

    Can you tell me your rim size and tire size? Also just so I got this straight, you did a BJ flip, drop spindles, drop LCAs, drop springs, drop blocks, and drop shocks?
