right now, i've got torsions cranked, 3 inch blocks, middle leaf springs removed, DT shocks, and no bump stops. i plan to get some DJM 3 inch lowering arms for the front because i'm my control arms are bottoming out where the bump stops bolted to.

what else can i do for the rear besides maybe a 4 inch block? i want to do that but i'm skeptical because of how low it will put my u-bolts and stuff to the ground. i'm not running real small tires (205/55/16) but i don't know.

You will need to notch the rear. After that, other than 4" blocks, that's all you can do unless you go with smaller rims and tires. I'm where you're at now...but will be bagging it eventually. If your ubolts hang too low, cut them off some. I've got the same set up in the rear as you and I'm within an inch of hitting frame, so a 4" block would have me riding on frame pretty much.

In front you could have remove the bump stop bracket...the arms aren't going to help much really...at least I didn't think they did for me.

Notch the rear and you can have your rear springs dearched that will get ya lower

well, with my two leaf spring setup, it's already basically flat. not sure there's much else that could be done to the leaf springs besides putting the thick short on top but that scares me.

Rearching the spring pack will make it ride better harder to bottom out...you do go with the whole pac tho

I'm on the two leaf setup and riding on airshocks. I notched the frame and was able to let all the air out of the shocks and ride like that. it was about two inches lower and doesnt bounce off the frame.
