trey_phish83 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 i don't have any torsion bars, how would changing the control arms adjust the ride height of my truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimp ss Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 the spring pocket is sunk down so it actually lowers the truck contact sprayed99 he lowered his truck this way and he will be able to help you more than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trey_phish83 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 oh, i don't have any springs either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUT2WIN Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 oh, i don't have any springs either. You either got springs or torsions bud The 2wd SS came with torsions. I got my Belltech spindle from Summit a few years back for ~$250 which lowered the truck 2". If you want more go with the DJM control arms which are 3" and all you need to "redo" is the way the shock mounts on the control arm. I had pictures of the way I did it lemme try and find some.

NTMD8R_SS Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 sick. so you taking the bags off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trey_phish83 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 no, actually my problem lies within the difference between the front and rear height of my truck, my front end is like 4 inches taller then the back, and it looks like i'm hauling bricks 24/7 yea, the obvious answer that every **** says to me on a daily basis "why don't you just let some air out of the front bags?" well, if i do that, i throw my alignment out the window, the camber goes to shit, i wear those 220 dollar tires, and it bounces like my ol' ladys juggs on the tread mill. i was hoping to find some 3 inchers atleast, i remember way way back, i forgot who made them, but you could get 3 inch drop spindel for s10s, they stopped making them, no clue why.

haul@ss Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 DAYM that b*tch is low!! Wait.. is that the same truck i've been seein on here for a while? any way yeah, sounds to me like your best bet would be the djm lca's.. but no springs, then i dont know haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evallejo Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) From what I know, you would have to plate the djm lca's to work with the bags. I would go with the spindles. Not trying to be an ass like you said above, but why don't you run the drop spindles and run a bit more air pressure to the rear. Sick truck btw.
