Coming from a person who knows absolutely nothing about these trucks you made it seem very easy to do this. I’m gonna get my friend to help me. Wish me luck
96 hardbody was my first truck. I bought in 97. Yes I'm old lol, 40. I used blocks and pulled the middle spring. Cranked torsion bars , got alinement. Nice ride
I noticed that you forgot to state that lowering will also give you a really bouncy ride on the front end. I have done it before and it got a really bouncy ride. if you want to have a smoother ride and still want that low end you could also spend a little more and get drop spindles. then use the torsion bar to lower even more.
You can flip and swap your control arms too for more low! Look into it! You love your Hardbody's Sir! Those Steelies are coming in clutch as well! Keep it up! #SquadetteOutForNow
A 97 was the first vehicle I’ve ever had and I thought my dad sold it but he said it’s sitting on his other property waiting for me to come get it I’m so excited to take the trip and go get my baby back
This is a lot easy if you use jack stand right in front of the leaf hangers and let the rear suspension droops so there’s no load on the suspension. You then unbolt the a us a jack to lift the axle so you can slid the blocks in. This way also Make it easy center your axle in the case the axle slide alittle to one side.
Should mention once you lower front need to have alignment done anytime you change something specially in front suspension alignment will be off causing drifting and uneven wear, lowered my truck 4” then went with bigger tire so raised it to 3” I have 86.5 Nissan Hardbody bought brand new Feb of 86 and still driving it today
please don't lower your truck like this if you ask around you will find the correct way to lower your truck it may be more expensive but at least you won't destroy your truck. this kid is showing a cheap way to lower your truck but it will really mess up your drive train and suspension please do some research.
James Minor You criticize his method of lowering his truck, but, fail to educate us on the correct method of lowering...So! In your opinion: Where did this “kid” go astray...?
Did he say it was good on gas? I have a 97 with a 5-speed and I do good to get 14-15 miles per gallon driving it like it’s a baby. And if I drive it normally that drops to about 11-12. One time I got close to 20 but never again since. I’m thinking my numbers was off that time. I honestly have had 3 full size trucks get mileage over 20 mpg consistently. One 2000 Z71 5.3 4x4 automatic I could get 21-22 mpg. (That was the only one that year I had that did) Two an 87 K5 blazer 4x4 automatic I got 21 mpg. And three a 1991 dodge 3500 Cummins automatic 2x4 would easily get 25+ mpg consistently. The little hardbody is fun to drive but it certainly would not be my choice based on fuel economy or space and comfort. I got it cheap though.
STONE BROKE GARAGE I thought that too but I’ve changed air filter, fuel filter, slightly adjusted timing in every way I could and drove it to see if there was a difference. I’ve even gone as far as changing exhaust to a more free flowing exhaust. The only thing left I can think of is maybe the timing chain has too much wear on it. I just find that hard with just a little over 100k and you don’t hear it rattling.
thank you for the video ''you brought back memories of my first new truck I ever bought a 86& 1/2 Nissan hardbody, I paid $6,995 back in 1986. I slammed the same way and installed some enkies saw blades, 15 inch reversables by 8 195/50 by 15 tires and .they would stick out about 2/3 inches from the fender...my wife wants me to buy onother black hardbody and drop it the same way .but I have been looking for some Enki rims 15+8 reversables .if you know were I can get that tip off rims please let me know thank you very much...
i have a 1985 king cab and the driver side tire rubs on the fender when i make a turn , i want it stock , but dont know if some one meesed with the suspention , any recomendations
Heyy when you did all this did you truck start making funny noise??? Cause my struck sounds like i have rocks flinging up and a noise that sounds like metal against metal spinning against eachother thanks!!!
I’m sure it’s doable the only thing is you won’t be able to go as low as a 2wd without having driveline issue’s with binding. However it is definitely doable, I would say maybe put the axle over the leaf springs like on a 2wd truck
I just bought a d21 and I bought lowering blocks but the prob my axel and leaf spring set up is completely different it looks like its flipped upside down ? Like my leafs rest and Mount on top of the axel and also my torsion bars are in a complete different location and looks different I’m so confused lol
STONE BROKE GARAGE yes I was just reading in the forums that the 4x4 the perch was on top of the axel and not the bottom, you think I can Still make the blocks work? I’d seriously have to cut the bump stop
Actually I think ima just keep it the stock size I go off roading a lot so no point in slamming it down , ima just upgrade my suspension. I’ve been doing so much work to this truck since I got it a few weeks ago in Oakland lol you’re from seaside right? I’m in Gilroy not too far away we should meet up sometime in Monterey I wanna see how you boosted your tuck, I wanna do a similar set up
Hey man I got one truck like yours but single cab and I was wondering where did you get those blocks or what's the name of it so I can order to low my truck
I gotta 86 with 3 inch blocks on 16s and i have like 3 inches from tires to the body and comparing to what you did just from the video i should be hella lower than what i am idk if theres a difference between the 93+ to the 92-
@@InherentTrash they were the blocks that this guy used with the slight angle on them n I just used good ol hand power tools (no power tools was used) n my truck sat flat with 15" wheels idk what size tire but it was a low profile tire probably 2 1/2" sidewall maybe n you can fit a fingertip between the tire n fender all around n the tires were about 9" wide n I had no tire rub
@@STONEBROKEGARAGE the funny thing is when I used to go cruzin ppl thought I had hydro's because I used to step on the gas n slam the brakes really fast n did it just a couple times back to back so that the front would lift n drop fast so ppl used to ask me how many switches I had n I told them none it was fun back then. I had a stock 2.4 zte or zle whatever but it was the high output engine n I had 8 spark plugs on the 4cyl I used botch platinum plus 4 plugs with a cut off exhaust ater the catalytic converter n the truck purred I race someone in a chevy blazer n he had automatic v6 on 33" tires n a cold air intake n we raced a quarter mile n I had him at take off then he was about to pass me then I hit 2nd then 3rd I get to 75mph n were already done n then he finally passed me n he must've been pretty pissed cuz I didn't see him the rest of the night
Static dropped my 720 over 17" eskies using lowering blocks, removed bumpstops and took out center leaf spring and rekeying the torsion bars ... it was slammmmeeedddd and looked badass :) btw pb blaster works much better f0r removing old rusted bolts
im surprised nobody has asked this yet but what is the width of your wheels? thinking of getting 16x10's and am curious how far they stick out. your wheel width is what I am looking for to go on my 96 hardbody
in the front, what if i dont want bad camber, cause it just going to eat up my tires._. I really want to lower it, but i dont want camber then have to get it aligned.
Drop spindles. They lower the front 2 inches and keep the stock geometry then you loosen the torsion bars sone till its at the height you want. But regardless you will need an alignment
You can use 4x4 top control arms to get rid of camber .. they are longer than 2wd control arms. I cut the bump stops in half and cranked the torsion bars down. = perfect camber
How much clearance would I have in the front on the stock 14’s I want it lowered fully so I can measure up some new wheels but don’t want it to rub and then have my truck squatted
I think you would have less clearance with the factory 14" rims then a 17" with small tire but it all depends on what drop you have, what size rims, & what size tires. I can't really help out to much man
@@STONEBROKEGARAGE sorry bro xD I was sleepy AF. I also got a Nissan D21 but the hardbody is not made from metal is, is made from wood, can that influence the slamming process? My English is not the better since im Portuguese
Stone broke garage Where did you buy the lowering blocks? I been looking everywhere and I cant find the beltech 4" blocks with the taper. I only found 3 " tapered and the 4 " with out the tapered
@@STONEBROKEGARAGE yes sir, I loved it , till a drunk had to mess that all up for me. I've been thinking about doing another, letting my daughter take it.
I have a 95 Single Cab. Lowered as low as it will go in the front. But dude I bought it from put 3 in lowering blocks in back under the axle and the bed looks like its a hot rod. How do i lower the back at least to even it out? Any Ideas
Did you measure the front height both sides.after you drive it the suspension settles and it goes crooked till you adjust it the same and test drive then check height
Where in California do you live? Maybe i can visit you if you are not too far for your expertise how to lower my 1995 Toyota. Let me know please. Thanks
And also lowering the front end the way he does it tires will last you about a month they will look brand new on the out side and steel belts hanging out on the inside
if your toe is on point it will last way longer , thats what chews up tires more thwn anything. 2°of negative camber isn't even bad. I've ran my other truck for about 3 years without showing and bald spots and I got the tires used. that tells you something
I had a '96 with the tosion bars all the way down, loosen the two bolts holding the upper control arm on and put I believe two, (maybe three, thinking it might be one 1/8" for every inch lowered) 1/8" shims in and tighten those bolts back down and your tires will be straight up and down again and will wear like normal.

unbolt the front leaf spring hanger and re drill the mounting point, reinstall spring and grind off the extra material that hangs below. this will give you 1.5 inches more drop and will get rid of the hanger dragging, you can also shorten the rear shackle and get another 1.5 and maintain factory like ride. um yea soooo like diff um yeah my bad. talk normal please

Good video! I have a quick tip for anyone that wants to do this. Use PB Blaster instead of WD-40 it works way faster in dissolving rust and build up.
It's the stuff!
Overnight is a sure bet!
Jack stands will save your life...
Danny B my thoughts exactly

I have done it before and it got a really bouncy ride. if you want to have a smoother ride and still want that low end you could also spend a little more and get drop spindles. then use the torsion bar to lower even more.
Yeah but that goes without saying the only reason I haven't gone with spi does is because the font give you any camber which is what I need
STONE BROKE GARAGE ohhh ok. Gotcha you. Still like the video.
You can flip and swap your control arms too for more low!

What size block did u use and how many inches did u do in the front
I honestly miss my hardbody so much maybe I should get another one? it was slammed with rays reps with that static bounce
You’d love mine then lol you perfectly described it down to the wheels
So are the slanted blocks better or the the straight blocks are better ??
The bigger the block the more you want/need tapered blocks. tapered blocks are better overall
If i was to turn the leafs up-side down, and get adjustable shocks on the front side? Would tht work?
I'm not sure I've never don't it that way , pretty sure it would.
I'll try doing it👍, and let you know if it worked
