Is there a how-to anywhere on the net that tells how to lower by adjusting the torsion bars. I'd like to drop my 03 Z71 slightly, 2" max, but have never worked with a torsion bar suspension.

What would this do to ride quality and handling?

Thanks.

 

18mm socket counter clockwise until you are happy. Even with shackles in the back, 2" drop, it is still higher in the rear with minimal torsion adjustments.

 

Ian03, thanks for letting me know how to do the adjustment.

 

Ian03, i guess you can get the whole kit from stylinconcepts.com. Its made by either beltech or JDM, and it comes with the torsion bar keys and rear drop shackles.

 

I checked the styling concepts website but I couldn't find anything.

 

Hey guys thought I would chime in here since I've been doing this 4x4 lowering thing. So far on mine I took out the rear lift blocks and installed belltech lower shackles for a total drop of 4" now to the front I bought and installed the belltech torsion bar keys. It dropped it alot not sure how much, forgot to measure it. But I need to crank the torsion bars up alittle cause my tires are leaning in. It's pretty cool I can reach the center of my roof now, easy to wash now. Check my sig I got the pic's after I lowered it.

 

ill trade u my 2wd and u can lower that one much easier

 

Got any pic's?

 

on that 2" shackle part, is it a 2" longer shackle for a 1" actual drop like i have? or do they actualy make a shackle that will drop the truck 2"? that would have to be 4" longer.
