Drop my '84

Ok guys,

I'm new to the mini scene, so what's the best way to drop my first gen B2000? It's an '84 longbed with coils up front. I plan on just blocking the back, but what to do up front? It's gonna be a daily, so I don't want to drag it or put air on it. Is there a certain coil that I can use up front with little hassle?

Please don't chime in with "Just cut the coils" or "Just torch it". I'd really like to have a little bit of ride. Thanks in advance.

you can cut one coil out and still have a good ride.... or you can search for lowering springs for the coil overs.... goodluck

i had an 81 courier i cut 1/12 coils out and it still rode great sat even with three inch blocks

What kind of shocks did you run? Stockers? Thanks for the input guys!

i had old toxic shocks on it..........it rode good

I know if I call to order Toxic shocks for a lowered '84 the guy on other end of the phone is probably gonna pee himself from laughing. Are the 2nd gen shocks the same? I want to at least SOUND like I know what's going on when I try to get the parts gathered LOL

I'd kill for an 84.


That is all...

$9,000 you can have mine as is. I will even give you the 4 sets of wheel I have for it and the sweet grey primer you will need to finish it uhhhhhh also I will just throw all the air ride shit back in the cab and the interior ill just toss it all in there..I got about 3 extra driveshafts ahhhhhh what else... we gotta deal??

As much as I'd like to have someone "whacked" in exchange for this truck, that won't be necessary. I would take $400 cash American dollars for it as is. I will throw in the extra carb I have for it. It does have a new fuel pump as well. Located about 75 miles Southeast of St. Louis, MO. Come get it....
