Help Lowering my truck

[Datsoon]

when I put my 4" blocks in the driveshaft bound. is this common , do I need to shorten my driveshaft? 3's seem to be ok but it is not enough for my taste.

 

adjusted tortion bars about 3" no problem but I want to go lower, I realise I will have to cut down or loose the bumpstops and re-index the tortion bars.

 

how low can I go? any insite would be appreciated. Thanks

You can add spacers to the carrier bearing to help you driveline angles. I think 1" was about the right size spacer.

I used a 1.25 inch diameter box tube for a spacer.

I had 3" blocks with a removed leaf. Should the similar to a 4 inch drop.

 

on my kingcab I had no driveline issues. I hope it works for yours

That makes sence. Ill do that . Thanks

Thanks for the qick info. I would go 6" if I could but it looks like I might have to 4-link it for that type of drop.

ok added a 2" block to the carrier, I will try re-installimg the 4" blocks tonight. I'll let you know how it turned out.

I spaced my carrier up 1 3/4 inches. Obviously youll need to buy new grade 8 nuts & bolts....

i also raised my front shock towers 2 1/2 inches & installed new stock shocks [not in pic]....

I then re-index'd the torsion bars, i still have suspension travel & it rides fine. Bump stops have been removed/tossed...

^^^that is a good idea with the shock towers, I'm not quite sure what you mean by re indexing the torsions? I will look for more info on that, that's a badass wink mirror you got in your truck, I still have one from back in the late 80's in the garage, lol
