B2000 blocks and torsion bars. HELP??

Hi everyone.. I am completely new to all this, so please bear with me. I want to lower my 86 B2000. It has to be on a budget due to college. I want 3" blocks for the rear and just torsion bar to make it even in the front. If someone could tell me all what I need to buy and how to do it, it would be very much appreciated. I'm sure there's already a how to around but i looked and couldnt find one.

also, what is 'indexing' the torsion bars? If i do this to my truck, what will be likely to break or fail if i just put in the blocks and tweak with the torsion bars?

Again, sorry for my oblivion, I just need someone to point me at where to start with all of this. And help me decide if this is something I really want to do.

Thanks, REd

Alright buy some blocks with U bolts and then the blocks go between your axle and leaf and you install the new U bolts to compensate for the height of the blocks.

Crank the torsion bolts under the car that are at the end of the rods leaving your wheel well area
until your front sits at desired height.

I suggest getting some truck drop shocks so the ride isn't as sloppy

hope that helps!

basically what he said ^^^. but before doing it make sure the truck is jacked up and off the ground so the weight is off of the torsion bars

Also another note on the torsion bar adjustment - count how many turns you go with each torsion bar. You don't want to adjust the passenger bar 9 turns and the drivers bar 3 turns - truck will not feel right over bumps and will basically handle like poo.

As for indexing the bars, for some applications the end of the adjuster rubs on the ground because it hangs lower than the frame. to fix the problem, the torsion bar is removed and turned or re-indexed into the lower control arm. Once you crawl under your truck you will understand what I am saying a little better.

Depending on how long your going to drop your truck you must keep an eye on your bump stops as well. The rear ones basically fall off once you touch them so a triangular 2" or 3" bump stop on the under frame is good. As for the front you can go with a 1" button style bump stop

Energy suspension makes many poly stops to suite your application

make sure you have all the weight off the truck before you do anything though.
