What did you use to lower? and plans for the rear?
I used DJM beams up front and moved the rear axle above the leaf springs with a small c-notch in the frame. The bed should be going back on shortly.

Thanks, they look good.

Next question, where'd you get the torsion bars from? I've been looking for some for mine.

Depends on the wheel offset. My 325mm tires with 10" rims and 5" of backspace needed bed (wheel tub) clearance.

Looks pretty nice and the two tone colors is great. Can you tell us how did you do to lower it?
