i just lowered my truck this past weekend and did lowering control arms and 3inch blocks from DJM. i also removed the 2nd leaf in the rear. it rides a lot better than stock.

hears how mine sat at stock height

They were $195.95 and bought them at summit shipping was like 12.99 and also ordered my blocks at the same time.

Awsome! I think this will go on my mental wish list... Did u crank ur torsions some too? I want my truck to ride better without raising it back up...

I really just followed the directions they gave me, after you reinstall your torsions it tells you to take the adjusting torsion bolt in the middle of the truck and back it up 2 full turns, I think its ether for resetting them or it gives you that extra inch. After I did that I measured out my sides and they where a touch off so I adjusted them about mabe a quarter inch where it made it even.

so do you think going with lcas is better than drop spindles? and what kind of shocks are you running? are the lcas basically lowering the height without adjusting torsions?

I'd say go with lca's,drop spindels set your wheels out about 1/2 inch, also I'm riding on stock shocks, I felt them bottom out a couple times today , i think i will be changing to Isuzu pup shocks. And yes lca's are mainly doing the lowering instead of torsions,but you get a better ride out of them and your wheels won't camber.

hmm. thanks man! ill probably head in your direction. lol
and one more question. is it acceptable to mess with torsions after? or jus stick with the height it gives?
jaboody   +1y
You can do that, I didn't,but I go fore it if you would like to do that.

one more question. i forgot to ask this. with the tire and fender problem, to prevent it do i cut the inside of the fenders from under the hood for more clearance?
