You could drill you shackles would lower it, but might limit your flex.
you can pull some springs from the leaf pack
what do you guys think about the chevies in the rear with a frenched hanger and no block? think I would loose a couple inches?
There are a few threads about low lift. The biggest thing is your mounts have to be set up correctly. I forget if you have a drop front hanger. If you do, cut it out. Make sure you don't have vertical shackles. Get a lot of angle on them. And flatten your springs !!!!!!!!!
It would take ALOT of work to raise my front hanger, I was hoping to do it all with the springs and frenching the rear hanger, my shackle angle is pretty good now, just dont have the time to cut and redo the front stuff right now, maybe later but then it will prolly require cutting and turning my axle also, lots of work.......
My 82 was 23inches to bottom of frame on 40s. im running bottom 5 springs from a waggy pack and top two are stock toy rears. and chevy out back 2 leafs plus over load. no blocks and a 6inch shackle. If your runner was mine this is what i would do. I would start off by sucking the front hanger up into the frame. ( your hanger has alot of drop in it, Where my skys hanger has alot less drop)your front shackles are already french into the frame so your good there. make your self a ruf pack.( could even use some springs from the tg pack) And out back i would go with the chevys or fords, And french the hanger as needed. Its alot of work to be done. But it will be worth it in the long run. Im getting ready to do all this to my blazer. witch also started life as a 2wd. I am planing on being under 25 inches to bottom of frame on 40s when im done.Forgot to add. I would swap out spring first to see how it works then if needed start cutting and moving all your hangers.
I would do the frenched chevies with either two or three leaves and then a RUF pack. You can use lots of different combinations with other leaves on the RUF, not just toyota, to try to get a pack without too much lift.
yeah I think I like the chevies, and with the added weight of my runner I think the 3 leaf 1/2 ton pack would be nice and low, Ive got a set of rears I was gonna mix with a couple of leaves from my tg pack and see what happens
