Right now i have a 89 b2200. It has 3inch blocks on the back and the front is just torsion bars. It the long run( a few months) ill be putting on juice, and doing a bd.

So my question is, how do i get lower (with a static drop) The back end i plan on taking a leaf spring out then my truck should sit level. But on the front i already hit bumpstops..(id take them out but i dont want to hit metal) So should i do lower c-arms? or drop spindles? (keeping in mind i want juice...so i dont want to buy somthing i wont be using in a few months..

Off topic what size tire should i put on my burbs? (16's)

Thanks for your help..JP

4 inch angle pinion block in the rear or take out a leaf from the leaf pack(middle one) re-key the torsion bars(thats when you take out the torsion bar turn it and re install it)rear notch even a cheap one

to bang out a dawg (static drop)cut out the bump stops,flip the front ball joints,re-key the torsion bars,get chevy 5 inch drop shocks from bell tech(cause they don't make anything lower then a 3 inch drop shock for mazda)your front will be laid out.in the rear take the middle leaf out the leaf pack and run a 4inch lowering block and a c-notch,rear drop shocks.rear will be laid out.easier to under stand.

Right now, the torsions are re-keyed. When i get my juice installed, will i want either drop spindles or lower CA's? Or just use all my stock shiat?

Thanks again for your help..

The torsions are splined on the end that fits into the lower control arm. Once you turn your torsions down so far they will hang lower than the frame so you need to rekey them. Pull them out of the lower control arms (hammer works nice) then turn them a hair and reinsert them. this will allow you more drop without having them stick below the frame. Comprende?
