What do some of our suspension guru's think of doing a suspension drop with the torsion bars being relaxed in the front and removing the overload spring in the rear with drop shackles? If anyone has tried this pics and info would be great! thumb2

i did it when i dropped a nissan 1/4 ton i used to have, it works, it's free, but i'm not sure how well it works on our trucks. when i did the nissan i dropped it down all the way in the front so it was sitting on the bumpstops, but i imagine it would be a bit better of a ride and much easier on the truck if you just went a couple inches down.
