I've got mcgaughy's 2" shackles and torsion keys, and I took out the lift blocks - 2.5/4.25 approximate drop (lift blocks are 2.25" tall). I'm going to get mcgaughy's spindles in the spring I think, but so far I'm happy with the current setup.

I just loosened the torsion bar bolts and ditched the rear blocks. There was a huge bump going into my driveway and the back would always slam into the rear bumpstops, so i trimmed those slightly. The front was resting on the front bumpstops, so i trimmed those slightly too.

I choped front bump stops in 1/2. Seems to drive MUCH better.

notice any difference in handling?

has anyone tried the DJM 3" LCAs for 4x4 trucks? that's what i was thinking of doing...i figure a 3" drop up front then remove the rear blocks and get the hotchkis 4" leafs will get me to pretty close to where a 2wd 2/4 is.

I seem to have better articulation in the front. It feels way better and corners better also. Now to add some decent shocks.
