ijus picked up an 86 b2000 that i cranked the torsions all the way down and put 5" blocks in the rear. my question is if i buy the djm arms that drop it 3" will it still sit lower than my cranked torsions alone because i still feel like its to high. this is my first torsion truck and i know NOTHING about them. i also plan on removing a leaf but id rather put hangers if anyone can point me to a brand that makes them for mazdas. bags are out of the question cuz this is my daily while i work on my laid out chevy. any help is appreciated guys thanx.

This is my daily with reindexed torsions,4" blocks, one leaf removed,and bumpstops removed. How low are you trying to go?With torsion bars turned all the way down it is going to ride like ass and the adjusters are going to end up getting caught on something and rip your torsion bars out.By reindexing them it will keep the adjusers above the frame rails.You can also run isuzu pup front shocks as they are shorter and will give you a better ride with the drop.

honestly it dont ride all that bad, probably the best static ive had lol what do u mean by reindexing them? as far as how low im going to put eskie 17's with a 205/40 i want it to tuck about an inch of tire so im guessing the frame would be about 3-4" off the ground. right now its on pathfinder 15's with a 205/55 and there about 2" gap to the tires. i want no gap maybe a lil tuck on 17's

when you re-index the torsion bars, all you do is loosen the bolt the whole way out, pull the whole assembly out of the control arm and turn it a couple splines. This will get the hanger that the bolt runs up through higher off the ground. Then put the bolt back in a your done. If I remember correctly I re-indexed mine 3 splines each side. But I had 2 inch drop spindles and 195/50's on my pathfinders.

Worked pretty good for me. couple of taps with a BFH and the adjustor popped right off...moved the 4 splines and then put the bolt back in......easy as pie. Oh and when I get my new rims and tires I plan on much more drop....though I know I am gonna have to put in some notches for clearance in the rear....and I will prolly add some shock relocators in the back as well
