Ok guys............exactly how do you lower the front of a 75 luv with the torsion bars?How much will the front drop with the installation of a sbc with turbo 350 trans and a weind 6-71 on top?Would like to get it sitting pretty while Im build the motor and trans..............Thanks in advance.

just the small block will lower the front about 2". Ohter than that follow the frame rails to the third cross member, there you will find the bolt that controlls the t-bar hight, just loosen that up a bit. But while playing whith the torsion bars make shure the truck is up on jack stands.

I am going to put some 90-10 shocks on it before the next track tripp. I think I can get a better 60 ft time still. Hey we got a show at the track next weekend why dont you come over??? LOL

The front will drop significantly mine is a 75 and dropped to the floor with just crankin em down lol the frame sits about 4 inches off the ground makes for a hard time trying to jack her back up though.
Later

Hey guys,

Isn't fropping your front end that low through your wheels out of whack??? I want to do it but am afraid its gonna through them out enough to cause uneven tread where....???

Thanks!

nothing that a few shims wont cure. lowering puts negative camber on the front end.

thats why we need dropped spindles so we can be 4 inches off the ground and still ride nice im going to work on this problem ill get back to ya
