phatboycrxhf Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Mr. Lahey is going to be pissed Rickey. lmao yeah i own a mobile home,but i got a decent price and it came with a huge lot and a 28x 30 garage and i just had a 12000 dollar fence put in with a 2800 dollor gate in the back ;) pretty much gift wrapped shit haha Nice straight looking truck. Always loved the early fender emblems. thanks i got the truck for 800 has 51000 original miles,the truck sat for the last 10 years and was only used to goto church and runs to town,it was owned by a older man ,id like to lower it a bit and put a nice set of low offset rims and pretty much just do much needed maintenance and little bit of rust repair...

izzo Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 bell tech makes some for these picups, i forget the model number (im sure someone will chime in) and its like 35 bux plus shipping. Not bad price really. You can get them with the 2degree angle or w/e so it keeps the right angle on your drive line.. also autozone schucks or one of those jenky asshat places should carry some generics..

Big Schlink Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Welcome, you can reindex the front torsion bars to go lower with stock hardware. There is a write up on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment
phatboycrxhf Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 picked up the bell tech 3 inch lowering blocks today and some stickers took the truck for a spin to get the blocks to seat properly and kept hearing a changing noise,not to sure if it was from the spring area or just some junk in the box lol i'll be looking into that as well started to remove the steering wheel to install a sparco one,but couldnt for the life of me find that puller,so i yanked and yanked and still no go,so i'll dig around today and see if i can find the puller today,so sick of hitting my legs on the wheel when i get in the truck...

southern620 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Welcome. That civic hatch utility trailor is awsome. I wanna build one just to tick off all the little kids in northern Louisiana lol Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 belletech makes a angle 2 deg 3inch block 6202 i beliee the number is. also if you remove a leaf or leaves you coul get axle wrap where the diff tirns UP and hit soemthing and more than 3 inch is best to raise the carrier bearing. as the angle just stress things out or make noise.
