No torsions, stoppers in front. Mono with helper, no stoppers w/3inch block in rear.

I am so confused on this no torsion setup. Rofl. How the hell does that work?

Essentially it drops the lower control arms until they bind with the frame or bumpstops (if u have any) or bottom out the shocks. mine was at the equivalent of having no torsions (even though I had torsions) they were indexed 4 splines plus cranked all th e way down. My lca sat on the bumpstops until I gutted then then it bottomed out the shocks and sat on them. Didn't ride worth a damn... Lol so I tightened the torsions bolts half way and it's been like that ever since. I don't know how anyone could run torsionless...

I think you are way better off to keep the torsions and lose the stoppers, you will have to trim the upper shock mount to clear the upper arm but you'll still have some travel and you can get it low, I bet as low as no torsions on stoppers but with suspension travel.

Also it depends on what size your tires are because if you run bigger than a 205/40/16, you'll have issues rubbing the top of the inner wheel well.

Back in the day, I remember running 195/50/15's with stock front suspension, just re-indexed torsions with no stopper and I had the front crossmember 2" off the ground - I could knock off cat eyes on the freeway by stabbing the brakes - it sure looks cool when they fly off and reflect in the headlights.

That's awesome. Yeah I have already gone down three inches myself but do intend to go lower. I just don't have the necessary tools at my apartment, I always have to go do the work somewhere else.

Only think you really might need is a grinder, you just unbolt the stopper.
