Mr.Dean_Yates Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 i get it. cool ness thanks man Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 wouldnt move it up, would move it in... It would move it in the direction of the yellow arrows on the first picture. It would be much easier to just tighten down on your torsion bars. That would fix the problem easily. and give you more lift. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 my tbars are maxed out thats the issue. i mean i guess i could reindex em then loosen them? idk. im just gonna do the shims. Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Reindexing is pretty easy, and makes the ride quality better. you'll get more lift out of it, if you do it too. I would use washers at first if you're doing the shims, just to see how thick you need them. Im sure it wouldn't be very much needed. Shims are usually sold in the mm range... Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Still have one set of spacers left... Gotta sell them so I can make it to Canby.... They are 1" thick Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 So these things haven't done a single thing for my truck. No lift, just camber issues. And to be honest I'm bout ready to just ghost ride this thing off a damn cliff. I haven't spent all day fighting every inch of a vehical in my life. Not even my z car is this bad. Reindexing the t bars? That was a joke. Ended up lowering it. Then tried it again. Still lost lift. Went from being lowered to stink buggin like crazy. I don't fuckin get it. I've done everything you guys have tolld me and its gotten me absolutely no where. I'm seriously just thinkin bout lowering it again and just calling it a day. I'm so sick of this damn truck and all the issuse it has caused me today. Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 haha, if lifting a datsun was easy, everyone would do it... Its a balance. have to find it, and its tough. I have re-indexed mine 4 times, to get them exactly where i want them to be... And the spacers, work, just have to adjust torsion bars to make them work.. Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 i got it back to where it was befor the spacers, but the spacers are in...can you post a pic of your uca/lca assy. i think there might be some bigdiferences between the 2wd and the 4wd versions aside from the fact that theres an axle in there somewhere lol Quote Link to comment

Datsinner77 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hey, I am interersted in a pair of one inch spacers, are you still trying to sell some? Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 SORRY, but all spacers have been sold. I am now suggesting a SAS for any one that wants lift. I have done it, and will not go back to the IFS!!! :) well cant, seeing that i cut it all off, but if i get another 720 which i am for my girlfriend, it will be solid axle the first day.

720driver97 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is there any negative effects of running these? Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Is there any negative effects of running these? If you look in the 2nd page of this thread you will see what people have ran into and what to do to correct the issue. Usually just reindexing the t-bars solves a lot of the issues we ran into.

Mr.Dean_Yates Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Might be further in I don't remember, but it's all an easy fix Quote Link to comment
720driver97 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Ya I read it I was wondering if there has been any new problems now that u guys have ran them for awhile Quote Link to comment
Mr.Dean_Yates Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Not that I'm aware of. Everyone seems to have liked them from what I know. I went low on my truck again so I really can't comment on it Quote Link to comment

720trail4x4 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 On 3/14/2012 at 5:24 PM, poor-mans-720 said: well I was going to machine them 1.5" Thinking about a 10 truck mass order. so 20 pieces at 1.5" If any one wants a shorter one, say 1", let me know so I can adjust the material needed. I am thinking with the rate of the machine shop I am using, 6061 aluminum, and the necessary bolts and washer and shipping... I am thinking roughly that the price would be $50-$60 dollars. That is way on the high end though, because I would much rather say, "oops it'll $30, not $50" then "oops it'll be $50, not $30" so that is just my rough estimate that i worked up today. Going to check some more machine shops out a in downtown. figure they might be cheaper, and some more metal yards for material. This I am thinking is a good estimate, they are still $50 dollars cheaper then 4x4parts.com. They charge $89 for 1" spacers, and dont forget the shipping. $15 dollars to puyallup Wa for me, could be more or less for you. So $50 shipped to ya, via postal service by me. Is a pretty good deal. half off pretty much. If i can get enough people to go for it, I am going to do it. If not, just going to make my own. so lets get some opinions... whatta yall think? Second order of business, can anyone post pics of 2wd ball joints, or have any knowledge of the diffrence between 2 and 4wd. 4x4.com made it seem like they are both the same and would fit either. But rough sketch, $50 (2)-1.5" aluminum spacers (4)-Grade 8 2'' long bolts, and lock washers set of instructions for the clueless, drawn up, by the none other then the badass, me... Do you still have the ability to make some ball joint spacers for the 720? I know I'm about 10 years late to the party but just resurrected an 82 4x4 and want to get it a little taller. Thanks, Shaun Quote Link to comment
