I want to drop my back end 3 inches, and I'm just gonna go with the lowering blocks, nothing fancy, but what's the best way to lower the front? I want a little rake so I'd like to lower the front 4 or 5 inches, what woul you guys say is the best way to get that done?? I lowered the torsion bars as much as I could..

Also I'm on a budget, so what's the cheapest way to do it also.

You can reindex the torsion bars and get a little more drop and a better ride quality.

Look at the link I posted in my last message.

Oh I didn't see that haha, thanks! So I just raise the truck, unscrew the bolt that I loosened to lower it all the way, take them out, lower the truck and put them in???

Pretty much. The idea is to have the front lowered while still having tension on the bars.

Soak them with pb blaster for a few days before you try taking them out. I tried to take mine out when I installed my headers, and I never could get them out. Other people have had more luck. I ended up taking the motor out and playing contortionist to get the headers in.

Alright, some people bitch about how it's a pain to re index the torsion bars, but it doesn't seem to bad haha, but thanks man! Now I just need to get bigger wheels so I don't rub my rim on the upper control arm, dammit.

If i wanted to use drop spindles, i see alot of people use s10 drop spindles, is there any modifying of them that would need to be done? or do they fit how they come??
