Now that i've shed the weight, the tail has come up an inch it seems. I got the front down with 2" drop spindles and about 1" torsion bar drop. I was thinking of taking the 1" back up on the torsions? It would probably ride a little better with torsion up 1/2-3/4" too.

What do you think?
Torsion up 3/4" or down rear 1"?
How would I drop the rear any more? Already have shackles and hangars.

I like a little go with my show!

Remove the Z71 lift blocks and use 2wd U bolts in the back.

Couldn't get the bolt in that #1 position. Is there a 'trick' to getting it in there?

What is keeping you from sliding it in? Should just slip right in.

Frame blocks bolt Someone did a write up on it a while back. I might just twist the torsions a 1/2 inch and call it a day

Thanks Grippy!

There is a trick to the shackels Bill, its called a "BFH". No, I had to jack up my truck from under neith and let the leaf spring drop alittle. Then you can get that second hole. Its a tough one though. A little cursing and fighting with it, but it'll go. Your truck is look'n great dude.
