hey guys, im looking for some options for lowering the front of my 87 b 2k ext cab. i plan on just using blocks on the back and i need some options as what to do on the front. at the moment i dont want to use bags or a body drop. ive been thinking about lowering spindles but im not completely sure about that. what other options are out there? thank you guys.

Loosin up those torsion bars

loosen the torsion bolts but before you do that jack the truck up to where the front tires are completely off the ground... those torsion bars have a lot of weight on them and if you go turning them without the front jacked up you could hurt yourself...

the torsion bar bolts will be about mid door but under the truck, one on each side about 6 inches from the frame.... should be on the tranny cross memeber... same as taking a bolt out.... lefty loosey, righty tighty
