 Subject: lowering Brazilian Dak
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2WD Dakota Reg Cab V6 2000, but in my country (Brazil) the 2WD Daks are assembled with suspension of 4WD (using torsion bars in the front). Is it possible to lower my truck 2" in the front and 3" in the back ?
I am trying to import a kit from DJM or Ground Force but I only see kits for front suspension with coil rings.

i just learned something new!
well i heard if you crank the torsion bars they will raise a 4x4, so i you crank them the other way it should lower it. right?
is the spring over or under the axle?

Ok Eric. I will try lower the front cranking the torsion bars.
The spring is over the axle.

I've been told that you can use drop shackles from a chevy. Belltech has one, the model number is bel-6400. You might have to use some washers as spacers. This is just what I've been told, I'm going to try this summer. Lowered leaf spring would probobly also work. I'm going to try the shackles this summer. I don't know if you'll be able to get 2 inches with your torsion bars, the ride quality will probobly be horrible with that much of a drop. Let me know how things work out.

After the Carnival (next week), I will crank the torsion bars and change the leaf springs (it is not necessary to import). If results are not good, I will import this drop shackes.
Thank you for your help.
I will inform about the results.
