How big is your space? May need to adjust the super a little, and have never touched the torsions before. The drivers side has always been a little lower. big daddy suggested adjusting the inner spines to fine tune the height. He mentioned a compass? protractor? You need any tools?

Hey Chris,

I have slammed a few dubs and my experience is that you will end up doing it more than once if you dont have the full weight (engine and tranny) in it, even moking it up by bolting in the tranny and engine will give you a more realistic idea of how low the car will sit.

there is a tool available for lowering the rear torsion bars, but I usually do it the backyard (dangerous) way with prybars and jacks the result will be the same :D

Also measure your fender lip to the ground before taking it apart, I always notice sag on the driver side, this sag will still be there when its lowered, ulsess you install rear adjusters or new torsion bars.

When you are done and bolting the spring plate in, remember where your rear alighnment was before you tore it down as it is adjustable

hope this is useful for your beer party

It's not rocket science guys! The biggest issue you will have is rusty bolts. If anyone can't make it out when i do chris' car, my shop is always available to help you guys out (bring your own beer :p ) This may be the summer of lowering and raising! I've done them both ways!

Like I said, if people want to see it done, come out to chris's place, but if you can't make it swing by my place sometime and I'll walk you through it on your car. The first time is always the worst, but i've got the tricks down pretty solid now:)
