    I am static dropping my truck. I have 4 inch blocks and was wondering how much more I can go in the rear and how much I should crank the torsion bars up front. Please let me know with as much detail as anyone can give me. I am running a 205/55/16 with a 45 offset. Please let me know. Thanks soo much.

    You can go as low as you want if you are willing to do the mods to make it happen. You can drop the rear to the ground if you want to make a simple notch, you can even 4 link it and do a coilover system in the rear to lay it out pretty much. The front is the norm BJ flip maybe, drop spindles, crank torsions more. If you really want to get LOW bag the thing.

    You can pull a leaf out in the rear still but then you'll run into probs without a notch when hauling or big bumps... Just crank torsions in front to match the rear. You'll have to trim or remove your bump stops as well ,and your ride quality will be in the trash can. Best way to do it is drop leafs and smaller blocks in the rear, and spindles and/or balljoint flip in the front with torsions. Once you start tucking a little tire in front it's time to clearance the wheel wells too... Some of those protruding bolts will eat up a tire quick. Just some things to think about... My .02 Or you could just bag it and drag it... Thats what I'm doing...lol:evil:

    If you do all correctly ,dropped spindles to keep the geometry correct,angled blocks to keep the pinion angle correct ,dropped springs,not mono-leafed( removing leafs),as can break!Shocks for the difference in height!
    You can get it low & ride good,& the benefit is if you go to bags you will have some of what is needed done!
    Ride quality,handling& safety are what you should keep in mind!:cool:
