Stance setup: what do you run?

[Idaho Hillbilly]

We have a couple different pic threads and I'm gonna start a new one. Partly because I'm still "designing" in my head and partly because I see the question ALL the time throughout the forum.

 

So, post up pics of your ride and specs for your tire/wheel combo and drop (or lift) along with any other detail you want to give. 

 

Ready, Go! 

 

 

EDIT:  185/75/14 stock height I believe.

the frame in the front has the bumpstop mounts cut away. it has D21 lower control arms, spindles and brakes. made upper control arms myself. re-indexed torsion bars that are worn out. the shock towers were cut and raised 2.5 inches. stock 620 shocks. 

 

 

the frame in the back has a step notch. i used 720 4x4 leaf springs. i took the packs apart and put the overload on the top of each pack. it has 3 inch blocks currently.

This might take a while to list everything I have done, and I want all to listen when I say, DO THIS SHIT AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

I is hard to know where to start, I have a 1966 Datsun 520 that I bought several years ago now, this is what it looked like the day I picked it up, I dropped the body on a 1986 Nissan 720 kingcab frame.

I guess one of the first things I did was to make a set of drop arms.

And then I installed them. :lol:

The tension rod you see was removed and installed towards the rear.

I cut all the front tension rod hardware off.

I also cut the stock lower shock mounts off and installed Roadster front shocks.

In this photo you can see I have the stock upper shock mounts, and that I flipped the upper control arms over, that is the left UCA upside down on the right side.

Here is what the UCA looks like when the LCA is bottomed out.

I cut the stock carrier bearing cross member out and made one that did not hang down, I also had to re-engineer the e-brake cable mount.

I notched the rear frame.

I cut the 720 frame front leaf mounts off and installed 520 front leaf mounts.

I cut off the stock rear leaf mounts, and installed roadster leaf mounts, I also used stock 720 4X4 leafs.

I removed the stock shock mount plates and installed 510 wagon shock mount plates, which also holds the axle in position, at that time I also put in 2 inch lowering blocks.

This is how it sits today on stock 1979 Datsun 620 disc brake rims with P165/65R14 tires.

This was a lot of work, I also thought everything out ahead of time, it is not just thrown together.
