jr02518 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Yes, first post. I have had the truck for going on ten years. It has just under 290,000 Southern California highway miles and I am the third owner. The first owner purchased the truck in Glendale CA and used it to commute from the "valley" up to the Lancaster/Palmdale area for work for the first 225,000 miles. The A/C still works. I have yet to find any rust on this thing. My question is how do you lower the truck and has anyone used any known parts or sources for the work? I understand that the front end is a torsion bar set up. At 265,000 miles I had the upper and lower ball joints replaced as well as the shocks and front wheel bearings. I also had Bilstein shocks installed on all the corners. Yes, maybe not what everyone might do but I have a look that I'm aiming for, only 3 inches lower. I thank you if you can help.

Slartibartfast Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Not a lot of guys lowering on here for sure. Shouldn't be too hard though, the T-bars can be adjusted and shorter coils shouldn't be too hard to track down. 2x or 4x? Some of the front end parts the D21 minitruckers use might work on a 2WD, but the rear suspension is totally different either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
