I know u have to when u bag it...but if u just wanna low low stance.i heard u can do it but just wondering what the risk are...my friends tried getting me to do it on my old nissan hb...but got to thinkin bout it an was wonderin bout doin it on the yota
^ its the same suspension anyways. you can take them out and ride on the bumps. might not be a fun ride.
not sure, but it will either lay front crossmember or be metal to metal on the suspension. either would be bad.
if i put the bumpstops back in and cut em down will it be good...dont wanna lay cross member...just be bout inch off ground...i like low and ****ty rideing trucks...
i would try and get a hold of smctoy. his truck is looowww. and static. but i can't recall how he did it. i like ****ty riding truck. my s-10 beats the hell out of me but it is still a blast to drive.
he told me he had djm control arms cranked torsions and i believe bj flip...im bagging it within the next month or 2...the vertically challenged crew in memphis helping me but i wanna low static til i get the **** ...just wanna make it the lowest static drop i can
its not so much the ****ty ride quality but how "safe" its gonna drive....... start bouncing it and you are likely to bend if not snap parts in the suspension.....if you ride metal to metal on the frame stops, you will likely snap a B/J.... trust me, its not worth it. keep the stops in there. dont cut em, they WILL compress..... undo th torsions till you have about 1 1/2 inches showing in the threads. i think you can wait to bag and still keep a nice static drop without risking damage. make sure to adjust your toe-in to realighn the tires straight.
I drove mine without torsion bars for almost a year, no damage...leave your bumpstops in, buy new shocks.. the shocks will hold the front of your truck like a inch off your bump stops... the ride isnt as bad as you may thing, but hit a bump, you will lift the front of the truck off the ground... also with no torsions, I had 215 35 18 tires and there wasnt enough room to place your finger between tire and fender... also cross member will scrape speed bumps ! your bumper will scrape on those parking curb thingys... you will be lowwwwww also when I took them out, I did not need any adjustment in my alignment, it was dead on... I did need adjustment when i flipped ball joints and put spindles on.. but the torsions are back on now...
That is the most retard thing i think i have ever heard!!!!!!!!! You guys are talking about pulling out your front suspension and driving around. I dont think you guys under stand what your torsion bars do! They are your whole front suspension. all your shocks do is dampin bumps, and no your shocks arent going to keep you off your bump stops! You can fully compress shocks with your arms but for some reason you think the weight of your truck isnt enough to do it??? Would you ever pull the front coil springs out of a car and drive it??? Coils and Torsion bars do the same thing just in different ways. You would blow apart your ball joints, bend your control arms, bend wheels, blow tires, the list goes on and on. But who really cares, suspension is way over rated! hey you should pull your leaf springs out and weld your axle to the frame. Youd be super low then
Are you looking to be sued anytime in the near future? If you lost control of your vehicle and killed someone (or yourself if you're lucky) you'd likely get time in the slammer and a civil suit for manslaughter.
