Kyle253 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 How bumby is the ride with just a single leaf? I was thinking about doing this, I only took one leaf out and want to go lower but am not sure how bumby it will be. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I only removed the middle leaf. It rides a bit softer & it's not bouncy at all. Last week I hauled a SR 20 w/ trans. & i still had 1 inch between the frame & axle. [frame is C notched] Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ok heres what i ended up using for center caps on the ST's....... They're called "knock out plugs" & i found them in the electrical dept. @ Home depot. $4 for all four. & now ALL of the ST's are done & ready for tires... Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 So who says you cant haul stuff in a lowered mini truck ? :rolleyes: I cut up a 620 frame & hauled it away for a friend today. Had roughly 600 lbs. in the bed & the mud flaps were dragging the entire time :D & then went back for more.... I love the C notch btw, with all that weight in the bed i still had 1 inch between the axle & frame..Hey now !!!! Quote Link to comment
