Got a question, I want to go 1 inch lower in the front & the rear, I already did the torsion twists up front and installed 3 inch drop blocks in the rear....still have to much of a gap for me between tire & fender like 3 inches, is it possible to just twist more up front & install 4 inch drop blocks??? I know you only can do the torsion twists a certain amount before you start messing with stuff.......I have 22's here are some pics

The gap problem is because your rolling on 22s with low profile tires (your only option)

drop it to 4 inches, and the ride will really suck.
 
Dude Im down about 4 easy in the front w/ stock tires and the rub alittle in a tight turn maybe at a little angle. but not bad at all. my ride is harsh as h@** but I think its because of the stock length shocks. I think they are out of their working zone. I all ready did the keyway change cause I could only get about 1" w/ factory keyways. I am dieing to go another inch in the rear. I have just been slacking........ check out my pics in my libary I know I really need some wheels but I have 3 young kids instead.... I hate those factory wheels I have the offset is awful or something.....
 
No problems, downsouth...



Just gotta get new bumpstops. The front hits the stops on more substantial bumps...not too bad though...my back's still intact :D
 
I agree, screw static drop. Bag it. Lay Low or go home. My ST isn't lowered, but my ranger is with bags...

Prices might be somewhat different now. All depends I would say on where you get your parts from and who you would have install it. On my ranger for parts it was $2600.00 from Alter-Images, who has for a couple years now been out of the game. And I had a friend of mine do the install, which he charged me $1500.00.
 
Eh reaper...



I have 3 in. drop blocks if you like check em out...superior industries kine, you'll just need u bolts.



Just pay for shipping and they're yours.



BTW, they're ready for installation. Initially the bottom pin hole was a little to small for the leafspring pin so I had them machined, fits perfectly now.
