datzenmike Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Haha I think I might just keep it frame on frame for now! I don't give 2 shits about the ride quality I just want it too look cool! My friends has a Volvo wagon that is riding on complete frame and nothing has happened in the 3 years he has owned it but I'll see how the ride is once I get her running. By this reasoning you could keep fucking your g/f without a condom and nothing will happen. 3 Quote Link to comment

Mysta2 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm not sure what the conversion involves going from kingpins to ball joints, but with that couldn't you get your first 2" from 720/d21 drop spindles. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 You need the '78 and up ball joint spindle in order to replace with the later 720/D21 or the drop spindle. If you have the earlier king pin you will have to convert it first. Quote Link to comment
Datsundude123 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 What if I just lift it up like 2 inches and put a 1 inch thick piece of rubber in place of the bump stop? Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 How bad do your tires rub in that position? With torsion bars fitted? Quote Link to comment

Rick-rat Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Just lower it until the suspension is tight up against the frame, weld it up solid, won't need shocks or torsion bars then either since you don't give 2 shits about ride quality Quote Link to comment

Sometimes it's more fun not always being logical and practical. That's what got me back into a 620. By no means does me having one again makes sense nor is it practical. But I want. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm old. I like comfort. But I like to drive my Datsun more, so comfort rides in the back seat. Scratching and scraping the ground isn't driving your car.This is not to say that you can't drive your car and have it low. Just that when it's on the ground it's pretty much maximized it's distance from being a wheeled vehicle and is close to being a sled. 1 Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Mine is 2" away from being a sled.... 1 Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Mine's closer than that to being a sled, but then again I only plan to drive it "off road." :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
