i wanna lower my luv as much as i can without spending too much any suggestions

get some 3 inch lowering blocks from autozone and loosen up the torsions in the front. itll cost you about $30 for the blocks and u-bolts.

are the lowering blocks universal or are they meant for the luv

and ill try a search on the torsions

the lowering blocks ARE universal.

as for lowering the front, the torsion bars are adjusted by bolts that are under the truck. if you get uunder the truck youll see 2 bars that got from a crossmember to the bottom control arms. these are the torsion bars. on the ends that are facing the rear of the truck, there are bolts that adjust how high or low the torsions are. just loosen these up and itll lower the front.

oh sweet how many inches you think i can get out of the torsion bars

does anyone know a part number or specific part name for the lowering blocks i looked on autozone.com and typed in my truck it said none for that model

If you are buying the blocks online just go to ebay. Parts stores probably wont list them because they arent a replacement part.

oh sweet ebay my best friend

does anyone have pictures of there luv lowered with the torsion bar loosening and lowering blocks just to get an idea of how pimp my baby will look

Look in the picture gallery of luvtruck.com, you should find a ton of pictures of lowered trucks in there.

yah i checked em out have no idea how there lowered though

i think im gonna go with the 4 inch blocks i want this shit looooow and then ill shave a little bit off the rubber bumps in the front

a few more questions

will i have to get new shocks for the front and rear?

has anyone used 4 inch blocks? howd they turn out?

mine has 3inch in the back and resting on the bumstops in the front



hope this helps a little, in the front if i remember right it is 24 1/4 from ground to center of the fender lip

oh shit that looks gooood hows the ride difference when you lowered it
and do you still have the stock shocks or what kind did you use

Smother than I thought but it is still bumpy of course. It still has the old shocks on it but I only put about 1000 miles a year on it. I will put coilovers on the front and a Jag or datsun 510 independent rear in it when it all gets torn down to the frame. Oh and thanks

whered you get your visor for your truck ive seen those but ive never seen one for sale anywhere

Here is mine lowered... going to lower it more once I fix the bolt for the torsion bar...



Ill get more pics with the Chrome Pathfinder wheels...


My friend said I should just pull out the torsion bars... since I dont drive it much now that I got a new vehicle... and I'm planning on bagging it in not too long so they would be gone then anyway...

Oh, and that is with 2 inch blocks and 2 leafs removed in the back... and about 13 turns on the torsions...

REALLY BIG PICTURES... SORRY!

nice truck sloth

yah i just lowered my front end by undoing the torsions until my muscles bled
(all the way) and i still want more so im gonna shave a little bit of those bumps off and see what we get i think im going with the 4 inch blocks in the back so i scrape going over a toothpick.....ill post pictures when im done

this was from a 70's dodge van that i pick up at a yard for $5 so i figured if i cut it down and it works, great , if not I was only out the $5
