Looking for low profile rims and tires like this guy here for my '76.

All I really know about my datsun is thats its a 6 lug. Basically any info I can get on how to lower my datsun like this. Dont mean to offend anyone who doesn't like this style. But its my truck and I just want some help :) thanks!

Lowering blocks and reindex torsion bars.

 

 

Happy searching.

If you search for lowering a 620 you'll find plenty of info with pictures and all, but in short crank your torsion bars down up front and put lowering blocks in the rear. Get a set of 15x8 steel wheels with an offset you like, paint them whatever color(s) you want and throw some 205/50r15 tires on them. You'll be happy with all of that for a while.

That guy even has a thread for that truck here.

Thanks alot, I'll look around and see what I can get. If any fellow ratsun owners have these parts ID rather get it from you guys

Flairs will allow you to badly fuck up the offset, go as wide as you want and not have worry about it. You do realize this will ride like fuck too, right?

The trick is keeping it off the bump stops, and using (new) good shocks. If you can manage that, the ride isn't really punishing (speaking strictly of cranked down torsion bars and blocks).

The trick.............. is being young!

Im going for that same look.. already have the holes for the flares n 4 inch blocks in the rear.. but thinking of going with the 4x4 leaf springs in the rear and 3 inch blocks.. ima reindex my torsions.. raise the shock towers.. which will take some time cuz u have to cut n weld an extra two inches on der..

[Lockleaf]

Does anyone ever use the ford shock towers to do this? Some Ford's have a shock tower that bolts on. They are pretty tall and pretty cheap. Lots of guys weld them into whatever truck they are building to get longer shocks installed.

if your going to have to weld those.. just extend the originals.. and you can use the same shocks you have on der now.. if u use those ford shock towers ur going to have to replace the shocks..
