Default cheap drop

anyone know how much drop i can expect by cranking down the torsion bars on a 4wd? i wanna get blocks to match, but i don't want to drop the front til i get them. i dont want to have to align the front twice, cause it is a bitch to adjust the camber. this thing is way too tall.

i was told that 3" on my 4x4 would be about it with the torsion bar... but i could be wrong do you have a torsion key? i could hook you up with the ones used on mine if they are the same which i wouldnt see why they wouldnt...

yeah, all i got to do is loosen the bolts to drop it. i just dont want to do it to see how much drop ill get, then raise it back up while i wait for the blocks and align it then drop it again and align it again. know what i mean? i was thinkin about 3 inches too. we'll see

3" sounds about right.

Whatever you do don't cut 2 coils off the springs and take the shocks out

My front tires look like this: //-----\\

why'd you take the shocks out? thats gotta ride like crap. just get an alignment and that'll take care of the camber. when i bagged my sonoma and layed it out, my tires looked like that and the toe was waay out. got it aligned and it looks better layin out now. hurry up and bag it!
