mikeanike99 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 They have a 720 4x4 at Yank A Part and the leafs are still there K I need money first then I will go down there and pull them if they have them still, how much do they run? Quote Link to comment
Hooligan Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 If my memory serves me correct, they are $50 for the pair Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thinking about going baja style on my truck but can't figure out the front suspension could use some help on that area and also would want some Toyota baja fenders Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Crank up them torsion bars! Instead of turning a notch down for lowering, turn them up 1 or 2. Maybe find some heavier duty 24mm bars from an early 720 or if your lucky find a set of Nissan 26mm heavy Duty bars. Also the Nismo bars I put on my truck were likely meant to be an offRoad accessory originally. The rear is pretty high stock, do you want it taller too? That might require, a spring over conversion, re-arching or maybe just new leafs and shackles. You probably wouldn't get into driveline problems? But it all depends... Wheels and tires would be easier to find used. I see a lot more 6lug Chevy stuff with big tires for sale than low profile truck stuff. Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah I wan to have a high but soft rear end was thinking softer springs with the axle under them instead of above (would need help to fab mounts) And I was thinking rally's would look cool with a baja and how much fab work would be needed to fit the nismo bars in you truck the thread was confusing to me Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Prerunners are easy to make especially when your making a daily. Like GRpufnstuf said crank up your torsion bars to the max. But I would go with the axel under the leaf, you can get axel relocation plates from almost nothing . ( I can get them locally at kneckts 20 for the pair. And if you really want height and cheap..? Throw a 2 or 3 inch body lift in the mix.. a uni one is pretty cheap . That would get your clearance up pretty quik..I am sure someone on here has done it . Quote Link to comment

I really only ended up modding the exhaust and then mounting the bars with the adjuster tubes at the front. I also had to put about 5mm worth of washers in the factory frame adjusters to space these slightly shorter bars a little forward. Just wanted to be sure I had all the engagement possible at the LCA splines up front. Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Jacob has a 3 inch body lift on his other truck but i want real lift not a body lift also what should I do with fenders and I want to put my axle under my leafs for that added height that should be enough height I want decent height while having really soft suspension Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 How hard would 4 link be in the back? Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Looking at those pictures you posted, I'd say those trucks are still spring under. Looks like the fender lips are cut back to the style line and that's about it? Proper 4 link is hard I think. Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 ya i think a spring over would work well. crank up the torsions. 4 link isnt easy. gotta be able to weld pretty well. a prerunner would be sweet though. unique unlike all us "in the dirt" guys :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

red76datsun Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 ill see if i can make it out. pre runners are sweet. very cool. i love baja bugs and thats what got me to like any baja basically. with the right gears a l20 would do well. maybe air shocks to help in the back? figure out the right stiffness? Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah I was think some Monroe air shocks. I want to put jakes engine in my truck when he puts a ka in his Quote Link to comment
red76datsun Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 did he get a KA? i have monroe shocks load adjusting shocks and i like them. gonna switch to air shocks pretty soon though. good quality shocks Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 No but he wants to get one soon Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Gonna pull my axle tomorrow and get the perches cut off then gonna get them welded back on on the top I'm hoping this wont put my truck up to High in the back I am gonna raise my front up with torsions and reindex them 2 maybe 3 clicks depending on how high the back will be I'm trying to aim for a somewhat high truck with super soft suspension hopefully my small l16 will be able to handle bigger tires wanting to put some rally's on it and a tire size in the 28 to 32 range my plans are starting to come together with this thing Should I cut my fenders in the front?

mikeanike99 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Was talking to a guy I know and he said he has a 4 point harness I can have just need bucket seats now... Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Flipping the pitches on the axle tube is about a 5" lift or at least 4" that's about what we got dropped my bros ranger that way Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Decided no to do a spring over but instead longer shackles so I can undo it if I want to or it needs to be removed Quote Link to comment
