Demian720 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Who can give me an idea on what to do to my suspension for it not to be so bouncy... I want to keep it static, 4inch angled blocks on the back and torsions cranked all the way up front any help would be appre iated my truck is an 81 datsun 720 kc thanx. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I think there are lowering spindles available for the D21 that will fit and raise the 720 and will allow the front end torsion bars down into a 'softer' range. A really good set of shocks will remove some of the rebound too. Quote Link to comment
Demian720 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Thanx for the reply datzenmike, have u heard or have any one heard of making spacers for the balljoints to lower suspension but allowing more travel and adjusting for the torsions? Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 ive heard of flipping the b/j's, but thats on mazda's and d50's. idk about 620's though. Quote Link to comment
Demian720 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 The guy who told me has a suspension shop I took my truck to get an alightment and he owns a 620 and he used hardbody spindles but he wasn't able to tell ne if I could use those on my 720, but he told me that lol trick with the balljoints would work am just wondering if any one else knew bout it, I just don't have the money to do any type of air ride yet but am definitely tired of the bouncy ride I have...

ggzilla Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Flipping 720 balljoints? take a look at them: give me an idea on what to do to my suspension for it not to be so bouncy... torsions cranked all the way up front For the front, make sure you have a good set of shocks (like Nissan replacments). But lowering it this way reduces suspension travel, so it's not going to handle bumps well. Quote Link to comment
Guest kamakazi620 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Extend the shock mounts and re index torsion bars use KYB shocks GR-2 Quote Link to comment

Demian720 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Extend the shock mounts and re index torsion bars use KYB shocks GR-2 I wish I had a damn welder to do all kinds of work to my truck but I don't, so even extending the shocks mount would work well I don't have the money to hire a welder for that ;( Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 You don't need a welder for that. Quote Link to comment
Demian720 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 You don't need a welder for that. How would I extend the shock mounts without a welder? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 the ball joint pictured can sometime be swapped the the upper side of the lca like i did in my mazda.. didnt change the direction of ball joint just changed the mounting point....works ok but truck is bagged with pie cut lower control arms too though.. i would search for a set of used spindles that truck had twocompanys make dropped spindles for it .. chassis tech and i think djm...that would be the best route.... on another static drop truck i had i cut the bump stop mount off frame and moved it up....as well as trimmed the bump stop......as for the rear if the 720 is the same as the d21 then cut the front spring perch in half re drill leaf spring hiole for a free three inch drop...plus it wont feel like your ripping the rear of the truck off if u scrape...

jrock4224 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 just go get shorter front shocks eassier... they code the mounting system in the catalogs so u can flip through your mounting style and find the shortest compressed shock with the right mounts Quote Link to comment
