n00b question about lowering a 92 yota

Edited: 2/15/2007 1:39:45 PM by Wilson

i bought some 4 inch blocks and put them in and i also took out two leafs and i dident really notice a difference i mean its lower i wasent expecting to be like bags but i thought it would be lower
what else can i do?
also is there a write up on fliping the front ball joints?
here are some pics (i know some stuff isent hooked up like the brake line and the shocks and the shackle bolts are not tight
does everything look ok??

pull your middle leaf thats a 3'' drop(or so i've heard) so with that done and a 4'' block you'll get a 7'' drop in the rear and then you'll need to notch your frame. fliping your ball joints isnt going to give you shit! maybe like a 1/2''. just loosen your torsion bars. or if you have the money buy some 2'' drop spinles so you dont have to loosen your torsion bars as much so you can keep a better ride.

Take all the leaf springs out except for the main one and the over load spring. The overload spring is the shortest/thickest one on the very bottom of the stock spring pack. Take the bumpstops off the frame in the back also. On the front just crank the torsions down and get some drop spindles. Flipping the balljoints wont get it any lower.

Flipping your balljoints will amount to about 5/8" of drop. Not really worth cutting up the arm for it. I put mine back on the bottom after doing them. Just feels safer that way anyways.

Flipping the upper balljoint hoever will not do shit at all.
