Dropping

If i drop the rear of my truck 4 or 5 inches, not sure yet, using drop springs will I have a clearance problem with the torsion bar, or whatever that is that goes for my rear end to the frame. Or will there be any other probelms? thanks fellas

If you go with a 4in drop you will be OK but a 5in will change thing like shock location,I would go with the 4in.jmo!

i believe the bar you're reffering to is the panhard bar , you should get an adjustable one so that when you do the drop you can center the rear also they have the shock relocation kits so when you lower the truck the shocks will retain the proper geometry and work efficiently you must use it on the 5inch drop the 4inch is sort of border line
