    i was originally gonna lower my truck 3 inches with blocks and torsions but no im contemplating going lower. i would like to go anywhere between 4-6 inches. i would like to know if there would be any clearance issues such as rubbing or hitting the frame. also how bumpy is it when cranking the torsions? thx guys!

    i have 3 inch blocks and im constantly bottoming out on the back on any decent bump or pothole in the road...speed bumps also suck...i hate the blocks,i want to try a simple bag set up with a notch or maybe drop leaf springs

    my friend had his torsions turned down and it was pretty bumpy but then again they were way down

    are you talking with the stock rear frame? or notched?
