noob wants a good solid drop and still daily it...

Hows it goin B owners? Just got back into a B, turned down the T-bars, looking to go 3" blocks and all new shocks all around...

Any recomendations and wisdom will be mucho appreciated...


thanks fellas...

if your running rims 16" or bigger you can run 2" drop spindles up front and crank the torsions a little bit and flip your balljoints and get some nice drop shocks and you will have a nearly factory ride just 4 inches lower. as for out back you can have your factory leaves de-arched and still have a descent ride. hope this helps

thanks pal, the spring shop is pushing me away from de-arching, and I'm not sure why... I plan on running the stocker 14s for now, but may go 15s with 165 45 15 rubber to get another inch down or so...

be careful on the smaller tire sizes with 14s, and 15s if ur running blocks on the rear.... the bottom of the shock/spring mounts will be like an inch off the ground or possibly against it.... do some measuring if ur gonna run small wheels and tires.... i have 15's with 195/60/15s..... i remounted my shocks so id have some more room in the rear...

i have flipped ball joints... cranked tosions... belltech monoleafs... 3in. blocks....15in. with 195/60/15.... overall with tires i have about a 7in drop in rear, and about 5 in front.... i also have drop shocks on it, cause my shocks started bottoming out when i went that low...

i love the height though!!!!!!!!

thanks a million pal, i want to do the same as you... i think my front shocks are bottoming already, because i dont see anything hitting and i removed the bump stops...

how hard is it to flip the joints, i looked for a techinical how to, but cant find it...

i would love to see pics of your truck pal...

this should help you on the balljoints

thanks pal, right now i feel i need the joint flip because i hear some banging in the front...



yep i removed my bumpstops, but i think my shocks are bottoming out,,,

maybe you should see what the problem is first, before going down farther...
