I did this on my 87 back in 92. I also drilled a hole and through bolted the front of the load spring to the arc spring to keep it from catching on things.
Those round head leaf springs bolts locate the rearend and keep it from shifting. It’s not a good idea to run with them out of round: They could shear off...
Lol you make it so hard all you need is a pair of vice grips bend that bracket spring out of the way and then you could put it back on if you had to and what are you talking about if you put the brackets back in the same spot the rear end doesn't go anywhere I've been lowering trucks for years but it sounded good though but I like how you're getting it down there now you're probably going to need some air shocks to get the butt end of it up off the ground I wouldn't have used the 4-inch blocks 3 in fine when you're going with mono with a 15 in rim and a 50-15-in tire but it should be interesting to see how your truck does I think it's going to be too low for legal purposes but with the air shocks you can add air to it but the truck's looking pretty good I like it keep up the great videos
What size rims are those it looks really good man. I've got the 2-3 drop kit by beltech and was thinking of slamming my truck just a little bit more so after watching this vid ill eliminate the same leaf and torsion the front on 15x10 and stretch some 195/50/15.
I don’t have a z20? Yes my z24 has a thermostat. If you didn’t have a thermostat it would make it hard for it to even warm up, if your overheating it could be a stuck thermostat or maybe bad head gasket.
I done it haha it axel jumps very bad while doing skids sweet as doing stand still but trynna swing os bad axel jumping hahah ended up snapping the ubolt plate on left side
Shouldn't wander on the road, the trick to figuring that out is to have a buddy turn the wheel back and forth until it "grabs" and starts to turn while you watch the steering pieces. You will see the upper steering shaft turn and somewhere along the way it will have a loose component. Another common cause of wandering is using Toyota wheels that do not clear the front hubs. Also check your wheel bearings up front. Lift up one side of the truck on the front safely with a jack and wiggle. It shouldn't have any shimmy to it and if it does you can spot the loose component based on what wiggles and replace that piece.

If you put the bottom leaf on top you can get it a little lower
Currently laying from so I can go any lower sadly
After taking out the leaf did the shock mount plates go lower to the ground ..
No, it actually moved it up about a 1/4”
Thanks for the info I wanted to mono leaf mine but was worried the shock plates would go lower mine are already pretty low to the ground
Are you concerned about reduced handling/axle wrap or hop with the monoleaf?
Not at the moment since I don’t drive the truck much, I plan on doing a 4 link down the road.
@@STONEBROKEGARAGE understandable

Nice ! Should look good
Did you do this before the redrill?
What are those wheels?
Does your Nissan z20 have a thermostat? I’m having overheating issues with my z24 engine and i don’t think it has a thermostat
I don’t have a z20? Yes my z24 has a thermostat. If you didn’t have a thermostat it would make it hard for it to even warm up, if your overheating it could be a stuck thermostat or maybe bad head gasket.
I was always told never to reuse u bolts.
Tyres specs?
195/50R15
Thanks ...
Hey man! Are you still looking for that plastic piece under the passenger side glovebox?? Hit me up
What part ?
STONE BROKE GARAGE that little storage tray w the 2 screws on the side
👍🏻
You didnt need all that straps just one jack in the middle of rear end and one in front of it and the rear end wont move.
Only have 1 jack & I using the 2 straps kept it from falling over.
@@STONEBROKEGARAGE atleast you were safe..
I believe we caught a glimpse in tj hunts video
eduardo vargas what ?
What tire size you running on those 15x10s?
195/50R15
Do you need to shorten the driveshaft?
It’s recommended but no I didn’t
How does the monoleaf affect spring rate?
It lessens it.
👍🏽
Whould u make a flat deck for this cheap one lol
I have no clue how I’d even make that haha
You need to C-Notch
I have one
girl in red 🥰
Any issues since doing this?
No issue’s just pretty sure I’ll get some gnarly axle hop if I tried to do any sort of getting side or burnout’s
I done it haha it axel jumps very bad while doing skids sweet as doing stand still but trynna swing os bad axel jumping hahah ended up snapping the ubolt plate on left side

Looks like an upper ball joint
@@jeremygriggs1513 I had one of those fail once. Was a disaster, if mine hadn't failed in a parking lot could have flipped the truck
Look up buyandsell everyday on RUclips and see how not todo this he also does a cnotch
Helpp me with mines 🥴

Tank’s already out !
No imagination, copy cat.
