Was talking with a buddy online about my wanting a 4/6 even bags, and the dillema with the 275/45s...

I mentioned doing a 3/6, and he had an idea..

What about doing a 4/6 DJM drop like i wanted, and then tweak the torsion bars 1/2 - 1" to get the extra little clearance needed? I think rolling the fender lips + the tweak would be a decent way to go.

That will tighten up the front a bit, i realize that, however, it will use the components I want. And then i can either leave as is, or go to a lower tire in the front in the future, and simply crank back down to stock height. No harm/no foul.

Any thoughts? If i can't swing the bags, i want to still go lower, and think that if the above was ok, then it would be a better route to go then using a 1" coil with my 2" arms or 3" coil with the stock arms.

thoughts, opinions?

crap, dont tell me these boats dont have torsion bars.. Is it true, only 4x4 have tbars on the NBS 2wd?

If so, what about coil spacers? They add 1" to the front from what i gather.

Im looking for a way to install a DJM 4/6 cause i dont want to install drop coils or spindles if i can't afford the bags.

If I can get a 4/6 on now, with either the crank or spacer and run at a 3/6, so i can simply adjust back down to a true 4/6 when i need new tires, i would be happy.

You would rather have a torsion bar suspension? :think: Not me.

Anyhow, the 4wd pickups and all the SUVs have torsion bars, but 2wd half-ton trucks are still the good ole' control arm/spring setups.
