    More details on what you actually did. Did you just twist torsion? Add some pics!

    You won't lose ride quality from a ball joint flip. Save a couple of Benjamins and lower it the right way aka drop spindles. You'll still retain ride quality and alignment. :waytogo:

    Yea, curious how you got that low. I have BJ flip, LCA's and Spindles. Approx. 6" and I'm not on the bump stops.

    Also curious as to any rubbing issues your having as mine with the stock 14's and tires rubs in turns and on dips.

    To post pics, you have to have it on the internet somewhere. photobucket, facebook, ect... Then use the post pic icon above. It's the yellow one with the pyramids in it. Here's a pic of my 85 LB

    Re-index your torsion bars. Itl put some spring back in your suspension. And just pull the bumpstops out cut em and reinstall. Dont cut the bracket just yet.

    And yea youl be fine if you do the BJ flip.

    At this point its guna be the bumpstop keeping the truck up.
