banzai510(hainz) Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) turn torsion bar bolt in middle of the truck. there is 2 of them. youll see 2 long bolts. At the end of the bolts there will be 2 nuts. One is a Jam nut. then turn the bolt. YOu might need a wrendch to hold the upper nut . Thats it. Then Lower it till the fender is even with the rim(Yeah baby get it that LOW) Edited April 23, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I measured my 74 and 78 and they were both at 28 Inches. Welcome to Ratsun :D Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 My 76 FSM list factory ride height. Measure the height difference between the two lower control arm pivot points, inner and outer. Actually four mount points when you consider both sides of the truck. Spec is 78-82mm difference. 3.073"-3.230". Seems tall to me, but i like them low. Good luck. Does that make sense?
