Okay guys want to know which way is easiest? It will be for a 85 xcab!

 

lowering springs or blocks, B/J flip and spindles and torsions

 

thanks do you have any pics of your truck setup with that?

 

i planned to use blocks or springs and djm lca's!

is this all i would need guys

 

I only have spindle mount flip aka BJ flip, and 3" drop blocks.

so a 1-2/3 drop, something like that.

 

I have alot to lower... especially up front with my wider fenders... I got alot of room. other than that, still need some recent pics

 

okay thanks! you think the djm lca's and 3" blocks would be good enough for my 85? i just want a nice little drop

 

I would start with 3" blocks and arms. You can always crank the bars down a bit and take the middle leaf out of the pack. And take off any overload leafs that may have been added. Stock pack has 3 leafs.

 

Basically that'll get you pretty far.

 

by saying "i would start..." i mean that as a figure of speach. i usually just dump my trucks in the dirt right off the bat. lol.

and cin...you gotta drop that thing more. find some cheap used tires and wheels. or atleast ditch the hub caps. itll look good with some simple rims. scion tc stocks will fit nice, even though they need a wheel adapter for the bolt pattern (5x100).

anyways, post some pictures after you get that 85 started and lowered.

 

Which bars are you talking about tighting up? Also by pulling a leaf will that make it ride rough?

 

lossen the torsin bars to to relieve the tension in turn lowering the truck, they are the big long bolts on the cross member, and no removing the middle and overload won't cause it to ride rough.

 

for mine, it actually rode better with the center leaf out. stock was too soft and i always slapped into the overload. middle put set the main onto the overload and therefore made it ride less bouncy. not stiff at all, but a little more than it was.
