Hi all. Can some experienced Luv owners give me some advise on the best way to lower the stance/ ride of my 1979 Luv truck? I am open to all suggestions, the lower the better. I understand the challenges with a torsion bar suspension but has anyone gotten more creative with good results? Thank you, Ed.

I bodydropped mine 3 inchs to lower it more, you can also "Z" the front frame section

Thanks for the reply. How did you accomplish the 3" "body drop" ? Did you adjust the torsion bar and use lowering blocks on the rear? Thanks, Ed.

a body drop requires welding and lots of fabrication... I had my LUV slammed, and all we did was 3 inch blocks, but while installing them, removed one leaf spring, that got an extra inch or two, and cranked the T bars all the way down, and removed the front bump stops, and cut them in half in the rear.. when you lower the front your upper control arm will rub the inside of the rim so you will need spacers, i just used 1/4 inch spacers that i got for 15 bucks at the local parts store. My truck loww, it looked sick but the ride quality was horrible.. but me being a 16 year old kid, i was fine with bad ride and having a good looking truck,.
