So what i am looking for people to post pics of there truck if you have done the exact drop on your truck and as soon as i get mine dropped i will post pics as well Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Heres my 74 back when i had 3 inch blocks, 2 leafs & front torsions cranked down but not reindex'd... The axle was 3/4 inch from the frame & it hit on EVERY bump. I dont think a 4 inch will get you that much lower unless you C notch the frame. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 this is mine with just the main leaf and the thick overload leaf and 3in blocks. its also notched. the axle sits in where the frame used to be. ten the torsions are just cranked. ill reindex them when i make the shock towers taller. 1 Quote Link to comment

sanitys Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 3 inch blocks in the rear. Retained all the leafs, but the second leaf is flipped and placed on top. Coils in front. Quote Link to comment

sanitys Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 why did you flip the second leaf and do you have a pic of the coils in the front ? oh great looking 620 by the way more pictures are in my build thread. I flipped the second leaf to "de-arch" the leafs. It increases the sping rate as well. When you remove a bunch of leafs you are in a sense de-arching your springs as well, but your spring rate goes lower. Now, i might have used the wrong terms but i hope you get the idea. What most people will recommend to you is to take your leafs to a place and get them dearched, you keep the same rate and you can have the desired ride height. Supposely its not that expensive, maybe 100 bucks. Quote Link to comment
