What should I do? Raise the front torsion vars to level the truck off? Or should I lower the front using the torsion bars up front (probable about two inches?) and drop the back end about 3 inches? Whats your opinion and what would be the best way to do this? Thanks for your help.

This has to be the worst view of the truck. Sits noise down... =(

Based on this picture I would lower it. By the looks of your rims and the rest of your setup (very nice ) you probably aren't going offroad any time soon. The raising will level you out but I think it would look awkward with that tire/rim combo. Beautiful truck though.

 

Thanks for your help. What would be the best way to do this? I dont want to bag it or anything or lower it to ghetto, just want to fill the space between the wheel well and tire a bit better. Torsions front and what for the back end? Thanks.

I plan to lower my rear end 3 inchs as well i am going to do it by by using shackles and hangers. Put the shackles on the 2" position and the hangers on the 1" position to get the 3 inch drop. THen i think i will have to install a 2 degree shim, then get new shocks, i think im gonna get air shocks(the ones to can raise and lower with an air compressor). Hope this helps.

 

Thanks that did help. I see you live in socal... Where you getting your work done at? Thanks.

Lower it, I have a 2wd so did front springs and rear hangers only
The rear hangers lowered my rear end over 3 inches to bring it level
with the 2 inch lowered front end. Here's a B&A shot

'Bout $200.00 for parts

 

My paln was to have it done by the end of the next school year, so its a while off. But dgoebel is a perfect example of what i am planning on getting and what you said you were looking for Colby. I don't have the money right now(no job yet), but i have been doing alot of research on everything 1 plan to do. i wish i found that dang dog(my buddy found a dog and got a 500 dollar reward and he lowered his S-10 wit that money). But good luck with your truck and it looks awsome!


p.s. Whats the specs on your wheels and tires? sizes? and brands?

There are some pics of how I want the truck to sit there? Will that look ok? Is that possible and what would I have to do to get it this low? How many inches you think that is? Thanks.

The wheels are Akusa(Panther) Juice(I think) 22x9.5 inch rims. The tires are Falken 305/55/22. Cost 2200 hundred bucks out the door. They are not blims either. First off production. The quality is great!

LOWER IT!!!!! I'm not sure you'll get it to what your pic looks like being a 4X4 though?
