Attachment 22555New member here, had the truck going on two years now. 168k recently had the balance shaft belt break which caused the timing belt to break. Good thing these 4g64 8 valves are non interference. Recently after search for over a year I finally found a donor truck to fix my wrecked front end. Currently running 3” blocks in the rear and 16x7 montero wheels. Looking to go a couple inches lower. Gonna pull one leaf from the rear to get it where I want. Cut the bump stops down quite a bit so I can have at least a little travel. Does anyone have suggestions on lowering the front? I’ve read the post about QA1 coilovers with mustang springs. Are there any cheaper options besides the classic cutting a coil off the springs. Looking forward to meeting some people considering getting any amount of help locally is like a needle in the haystack.
