NW620 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm wondering if it would be worth it or even possible to get this low with a static drop? or would it be easier and more reliable to just bag it? I NEED SOME ADVICE. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 idk but that pic is sexy as fuck! what lip did you fit on there? and are you still running torsion bars? Quote Link to comment
NW620 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah im still running torsion bars. Honestly i dont even know what it is. My dad and i just had some shit laying around and it fit nicely. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 static, with the right amount of love... i enjoy the shit out of my truck now i have some suspension travel.. if its done with some common sense, its easy. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Coil overs bagged trucks if not done high dollar ruin the truck and its resale. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 reason i asked (if you were running tbars) is because im wondering if the forward torsion bar mounting locations ever scrape with you being that low. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I like static drops, once you start going low though, things start getting tight up front. :lol: 3 Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I run static dropped and drives great.. I have stepped front A arms, C-notched rear frame, I do have rear air shocks. Air bags are great if you want to lay the frame on the ground, I have had air bagged trucks and hydraulic trucks..all are cool in there own right..just have to figure out what you want to accomplish....Just remember this, air bagged rides, done right arent all that cheap...and alot of work and mods need to be done,.....Good luck!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
NW620 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah my truck rides like shit from being how low it is right now. i removed 2 leafs, 3in blocks in the rear, and i messed with the tbars up front. what could i do from here to go lower? i dont need to be completely slammed. i would just like to tucking all the way around. like this: Quote Link to comment

NW620 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to do that and post up pics when I'm done Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't forget to throw away your bumpstops. BTW, that truck is about as slammed as it gets without a body drop ;) Quote Link to comment
Lee R Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Lets see some more pics..... Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would also like to see more pictures of your truck. I did a static drop on mine. Removed 2 leafs, 4 inch block in rear, adjusted the Tbars all the way up front, and cut the bumpstops in half. I'm running 15x8 wheels w/ 205/65 tires, which I had to roll the fenders in the rear alittle and didn't have to mess with anything else up front. I'll post a picture of mine when I get home.

Farmer Joe Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 this is more current... on the way to canby.. 1 Quote Link to comment
NW620 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 this is the best picture i have at the moment of how low it is. ill take some pictures tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
Lee R Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I knew it....see how pics can be mis leading? The first pic you posted of just the front was taken like you were coming out of a driveway, hence it looks way lower than it is. No way you could get the front that low (on level ground) by just re indexing the torsion bars. Farmer Joe is the real deal!!! How did it ride to Canby with the one leaf? I remember reading you hava air shocks some where as well. Quote Link to comment

I remember reading you hava air shocks some where as well. canby trip was awesome. the suspension system turned out to work pretty well. i do have 3 leafs in the pack tho.. some still call it mono leaf tho, but its all good lol put like 40psi in the shocks, and just cruise...

Farmer Joe Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 crappy pic, but give you the idea... again, dont mind the shock.. this is whats cut out of the front.. this is how much room i have between the LCA and the frame now... i consider it a fail safe.. it still rolls being that low, so i could make it home in case something broke. im revealing all my secrets... :lol: Quote Link to comment
NW620 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 yeah, thats kinda the point of the first picture...asking how i could that low? hmm... Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Looks like I need to cut off a bumpstop mount or 2 :lol: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 lol, yeah just hack out the entire frontend... coils would be super ideal tho.. i wouldnt mind having a little less body roll.. but im going to cobble something together for linked suspension in the back. have you started cutting your truck up yet?

]2eDeYe Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Which one? :lol: Quote Link to comment
71kat510 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 what air shocks are you running and got any writeups on getting low im working on getting mine to ride better and better stance will be on 15x8 +0 hopefully unless someone has a better idea for wheel specs with 16x7 Quote Link to comment
