Lowering a 62 step-side
I want to lower my step-side. With the loosing the torsion bar what rear spring drop do I get to to make it level? I do not want to get a 4in drop and I can't get the same in the front. Any help would be great!

I used Jeep TJ rear coils in my old 60.
With torsion turned down in front. Just for reference.

Re: Lowering a 62 step-side
The downside of these drops is the tortion bar bolts hitting stuff. Mine only sit about 4" off the ground. That is fine most of the time, but I do have to watch some places I go.
I dont know about springs for the rear, I bagged mine. The adjutablility is nice, especially for the high spots in the road ![]()

Re: Lowering a 62 step-side
No they are not bent. They are tough bolts and can take a beating..
Here is a side pic of my truck after I bagged the rear. You can see the bolts hanging down in the middle. ![]()
