Justin Berni Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Instead if starting a new topic every time I want to talk about my truck or have a question I made this for all that. Right now the truck is treating me really well. Incase anyone's wondering it is lowered with 3 inch blocks in the back, and a leaf removed. And torsion bars maxed out up front. And has stock Nissan hardbody wheels. Havnt done much to it lately, but I like how she sits. 2 Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 My fav. pic is when it's next to the Honda. lol What size tires are you running? Looks like 195/60/14 in the front and 195/70/14 in the back Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Good looking truck! Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Correct, 195/60 and 195/70 And I'm sensing some sarcasm about the Honda hahah, I'm not a big Honda guy but I like my friends civic, it's simple and clean, and not riced out with sticker bombed panels and stupid exhaust. 2 Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 And thanks joe! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Well it's down there on the ground. Did you flip the arms? Quote Link to comment
bryant2482 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 wow! im digging the white rims! did you put in drop leafs? Quote Link to comment

Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks mike, haha. That's all I did to the suspension. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Is the ride harsh with the torsions maxed like that? Index the shizz for a softer ride. Or look into flipping the arms like Wayno stated. I'm really digging on the regular cab 720s. I want one. Slammed. 4x4 grill and lights. MmmMmm. Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The ride isn't too bad. My friend has a mazda b2000 slammed and his ride quality is almost too much to handle haha. I really don't mind the ride quality of mine. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The only reason I asked about the arms is that the upper balljoints bind when one gets really low, I wonder if it is resting on the bump stops or the balljoints. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah just a little bit of sarcasm. lol But jk jk Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm sitting on bump stops up front, which I kinda like because it makes it really stiff, and being this low I want it to be pretty stiff. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I took my bump stops out in the front and back. Kinda shouldn't cause I'm not even maxed out but hey, it gives me more travel and I never hit. lol Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 If I took mine out the bottom of the truck would scrape even more than it does now Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 And mine are cut in half in the back, still have plenty of travel and it's better than having the axle hitting the frame all the time Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 yeah, I'm not as low as you. lol I still scrape but only on big bumps. I'm waiting to get drop spindles and probably another inch in the back. Right now my ride is soft and a little bouncy. Stylish & Functional Quote Link to comment
Justin Berni Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 How low are you in the back? Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm 3 inches in the back and evened out the front. Still running the stock Nissan shocks that were never changed. lol And need to replace my front suspension cause it's all worn out too. I still got a lot of stuff to do as far as maintenance.

Fat510 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 And need to replace my front suspension cause it's all worn out too. I still got a lot of stuff to do as far as maintenance. I feel you haha Quote Link to comment

I know the feeling, well, used to anyway. Replaced all the ball joints, tie rods, and shocks over a year ago. Rides and handles a lot better now. My lower ball joints were shot. It sit with extreme camber and I could rock the wheel in and out when it was in the air. Not good! Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 haha, I looked at my front suspension and surprised it lasted me this long. Just recently it's been squeaking and making noise so I think it's telling me something. Quote Link to comment

Our Datsuns talk to us, they give you plenty of warning when something needs attention, the question is do we listen, I found it's best to listen rather than trying to fix it on the side of the road, as I have all these great tools at my house, and the tow truck guy wants to much money for a tow. Fix it while you have the choice of where your going to fix it, otherwise a great day can turn into a shitty one. 2 Quote Link to comment
