then, cause you said you had torsions cranked down...how much i dont know...and 3" blocks with 2 leafs remove, and i think something about cutting the front upper bumpstop out, i could be wrong though, you still didnt seem that low then....3"s with all that, frame to ground...

lol wow that was a lil hard to read

Torsions were cranked...probably 20 rounds...lol honestly they were almost out. Front bumpstops removed way back when, so I now only had 1/2" of clearance between the a-arm and the bumpstop bracket.

Yep about 3"...maybe less, to the ground. I had pics on the old pc...just recently died...that could post showing how low I was to the ground. I may have posted them on imageshack, I'll have to look.

That's sadly the only pic I put on imageshack, but maybe it gives you a better idea of how low I was.

Maybe this one will to:



In this pic I had the torsions a lil higher set, maybe only 2 rounds or so less, so about 1/4-1/2" difference than I was at my lowest, plus in this pic I had 5"s of block and the overload spring removed lol...didn't like the idea of not being able to haul at the time so I left the full stack in

I also had 16" tires and 195/50's in this pic. So think about it, that low or maybe 1/2 lower with 15" wheels and 205/50/15's. So yes if I'm correct my frame was 3" or lower to the ground If I could find my frame pic...I think I posted it here somewhere idk but it would show better.

Cool...i was just curious, because i currently have my torsions cranked down, 1/2" give or take a little, and 4" blocks in the rear, and thats it...and im lookin a little lower then you, even at your "lowest"...i could be wrong though...
1hotdawg   +1y
lol you could be, idk. But if you are then you've gotta be bout ridin on metal to metal. I only had about an inch of clearance, thanks to my shocks, in the rear before banging the frame, and bout 3/4" in the front before hitting metal to metal on the bumpstop bracket

now if you could just get those decals off the sides...and maybe that trim on the wheel wells. but once again im amazed at how clean that stock paint is...
