Well I lowered my luv with 3" blocks in the back and just evenly cranked down the torsion bars in front. Took the rear springs out except for 2 and the overload. Well my truck sits lower on the driver rear and higher on the passenger front. I let the torsion down a few more turns on the passenger side and that didnt seem to matter much. Any ideas?

Huh, guess where the fuel tank is at. Also the springs and torsion bar get used and wore more on the driver side.

Try putting Or exchanging a spring on the driver rear. Try pulling a short one and put in one that is longer this will help the spring hold more weight.

Well I figured it out...


Somehow the passenger side torsion was about a inch higher than the drivers....


Leveled them out and its all good now :)


What rubbers? :D
