How do you de-crank the T-bars and were are the blocks located at???? How much did it drop????

 

My 4/6 drop has produced consistent 1.67/1.66 60's so far. When I was stock ride height I only got in the 1.6's once. However, I'm running QA-1's and relocated rear shocks. Check out my suspension thread in the projects section for more details.

A dropped truck that has suspension that works compared to a stock ride height truck with a suspension that works, both in identical conditions...the dropped truck would more than likely out run the stock ride height truck do to aerodynamics. Just my .02.

 

all i did was decrank the tbars and remove the blocks, some trucks dont have t bars though

 

the t-bars are the torsion keys right??

 

The keys are what's actually on the rear end of the bars, that contact the adjuster bolts... Can't really have one and not the other. Setting a truck up for optimal performance at the track requires you to look at every corner of the suspension... There's lots going on that needs to be taken into consideration. Spring rates, shocks, placement, preload etc...

And yes, you do have springs on your truck, they're just in the form of torsion bars, not coil springs. They do the same thing.

 

well idk how to start on this truck with the suspension....

 

my SS went from 15.3 mpg to 15.8 after the drop and i havent reset it. so every couple days its goes up another point or so.

 

What did you use to drop it???? How does it drive??? Can you put some pics???

 

after lowering the t-bars and removing the blocks plus a 2" drop shackles should i have to do anything else to the truck for it to drive ok besides an alignment?

 

after a couple more days it went to 16.1. i have so many miles on it since i reset it that it takes awhile to show a improvement in mpg.

i did mc shackle and hanger, clamped overload. then mc 2inch spindles. with eibach lowering keys to make it sit just right ( my truck sat level factory, so it sat bulldog bad when i did the normal 2/4 kit). also it went into factory specs on allignment but right on the edge for camber. so im gonna order that 1 degree camber bolt and be good to go. heres some phone pics
