I was wondering. The 4x4 I have sits an inch lower on the passenger side. i wonder if that is because the torsion bar is gone on that side and the driver side still has it on. Guess I should take it off as well huh. This thing is sure quick with the 4:10 gears it gets to 3rd very soon. not much for highway use.

Actually they cut the passenger side off to put the latemodel transfer case in and left the drivers side.
it has a homeade coil spring and shock set up on the front on each side. will have to send a pic sometime of the setup. KINDA rugged but works.

The late model transfer case wouldn't fit with the torsion bar in so they took it out and did the coil stuff.
By the way I am playing in a bar at Warrenton regularly. Just a small place were it is loud.

Guess I'll pull the torsionbar on the drivers side too since the other is gone . Should drop the height I would think to match the other.
The guy that did the work said he had to heat the coil spring top get the same height . Might have to get a nother set of old coils off the front of a car somewhere. need to get pics of this guys setup. Really kinda clever
