hi im a bit of a newb b22 owner
but i wana go low my rear is pretty much set up ive got 2 inch blocks and an extra spring pack de arched 4 1/2 inches (not yet installed) my frame has a 2 inch notch in it thats blocked off i think the previous owner got a VI in it or something so he brought it back to stock height
but in the front im hearing a bunch of different shit to do i want the best static drop but id like to maintain a fairly decent ride quality if possible
i know about offset i have some 18" eskies on the way
the old school way is crank the torsions down, flip the ball joints, and replace the bumpstops with a low profile one
or u can put on some drop spindles, drop lower control arms,( which i dont think they make anymore), spend alot more money and have the front wheels not tuck anymore with the eskies cuz the spindles push the wheels out
ya think ill go old school for a lil while
this is one of the truck i built for a daily, i used 3 inch blocks cranked torsion bars flipped ball joints and new bump stops, it was a good ride surprisingly!! ill do it again
heres what it'll look like roughly just to get an idea
3" inch blocks on a normal spring pack? mines de arched 4.5" plus i have some 2" ers
i tried about month ago crankin my t-bars and they wudnt budge and i had it on a lift crankin at it like a mother fucker (spray some high performance penetrtating lube on er too) but i noticed driver side had two nuts on it is that normal or maybe the previous owner was fuckin wiht it
so what should i do heat er up and crank on it or what???
also ive heard of just pulling the torsions right the fuck out but i cant imagine you get any sort of ride quality out of that??? what you guys think
Dont pull em......ride sucks ass! yeah, its low and looks good..but again, sucks ass.
any tips on gett those fucking nut loose
If you have two nuts on it you will need to loosen one while trying to tighten the other. This will pull them in opposite directions. Then once the one is off...there you go.
