I want to drop my '94 hardbody 3/3, but all I can find for the front is a 2" spindle. I DO NOT want to fuck with the torsion bars, because my alignment guy says it won't align properley. Does anyone know another way to get the front 1" lower to achieve the 3" drop I desire? The back is no problem, I found 3" drop leafs.

Is DJM any good? Also, anybody who has these arms, how does it ride? Any difference from stock? Any problems at the alignment shop? Thanks.

You can drop that truck nearly on the ground with spindals and torsion bars and still have it aligned, make sure you re clock the torsion arms so they dont drag the ground and rip off.

You need a new alignment guy.If you use 2" drop spindles,and loosen the torsion bars to get the other 1" it's should be no problem to align it.Back in the early 90's I had a 91 Nissan with no drop spindles sittin only 1 1/2" off the ground and it was aligned perfect.

Yea, you need a new alignment guy. You can pull youre torsions completely out and still be able to align the truck. But you should have bags before you pull the torsion bars out,of course.
Anyhow,by "re clock" he probably means reindex. You basically pull the torsion bar out and realign("reindex") the bar in the notches so that the rear of the bar(the part that bolts to the frame) doesn't hand down and you don't drag those bastards out.(Not a good thing)
