I'm grounded again.
Just a static drop.
3" drop arms in the front 4" blocks in the rear and one leaf removed.

Before and after DJM 3" drop lower control arms. I also had to crank the torsion bars up, because otherwise I would have been even lower.

Some of the stuff I found in need of attention while doing the drop. I replaced with new bushings while I had everything apart.

I took the time to also trim the bumpstops so I would not be bouncing all over the place.

These pictures below are before the 3" drop arms.

First I just removed my big tires and added my old pathfinder rims and 205/60R15's!

Then I losened my torsion bars 16 full turns from what it was bringing the front down to about 3" to 4" from stock, 5 to 6" from the the lift I had. I will add the 3" drop lower arms next weekend.
this photos are with 2 leaves removed and hitting the chassis, so I placed one back on.

This is the final look until I drop the front next weekend!
the rear is about 1" or so from hitting the chassis.

does removing a leaf help lower it? i have 2" blocks right now and want to go lower so i was looking at shortening the shackles a lil bit. i see takin leafs out raising the body, or does it make the springs sit flatter therfore lowering it?
