- This is part 2 of doing the redrill on Chris's truck!! Just showing how we do this lil trick , Makes a big deal if you are daily driving a really low static hardbody. Thanks for watching !! TOOLS I USED ....3/4 Step drill bit....A drill .... Grinder....Jack and strands....Propane Torch(Hank hill voice)....Ratchet....Hammer....And a few metric sockets like 19 17 12 10 .
Just realized the first clip was added on the end as long with a blank screen....idk what happen ,Sorry guys!!!!
Back in the early 90’s minitruckin had a template in one of there issues for this mod. I did it back in 97 on mine and didn’t tell anyone for weeks and they couldn’t figure out how my truck was and inch and a half lower then there’s. It also really drove them nuts when I figured out that a set of Monroe shocks for a 79 Toyota was a shorter shock and also gave me a lower stance.
can you tell me the exact name of the monroe shocks?
Took me like a full day to do this🤦 props man, you knew what you were doing
HAHA!! I just done a few times is all , thanks for watching !!
Bro, you have a ton of good information. I’m doing a 5.3 swap on a 66 mustang and you are helping out a ton 🤙🏼
Hey I was a kid with a D21 181,000 Miles Took me forever to find your RUclips channel hope to see some awesome shit
great stuff dude!! you seem to have a really good eye with the camera, the shots are really well composed and exposed. So good! Keep it up.
New d21 content. Props
Thank you sir!!!!
Did you have any issues with pinion angle? really debating on doing this to mine tommorow .
I look forward to seeing more content on that is swap coming! Really excited!!!
Thank you trying to get editing done now!!
After making the hole. how did u pull the leaf springs up to the new hole? Did you use any tool?
I redrill mine. But know I’m hearing a a rocking noise when I drive or shanks the truck. Did you have that problem
Such good content dude!
Hell yeah brother!
So does the diff scrape ?
What size bolt did you use? Please help!
It appears to be 6" long 3/4" bolts.
Confused me with the tape measure. You said two inches top...I see from the top of the hole. When you did the side measurement sounds like you say "3 inch" back. Looks like an inch not 3. Sorry if I'm wrong but hard to understand and you blocked the measurements view. Thanks
sounds like he said 3 inch but he actually said “an inch back”
By doing this the truck drop more or stay the same.
Lowers the back more depending on where your whole is drilled.
Is there any disadvantage to doing this at all? I'm tempted to do *only* this mod to lower the truck a bit, thinking ride quality won't be affected, and if anything, the suspension will be stronger. I don't want a big drop, and I'm guessing this only moves the rear end down an inch or less.
When you lower a truck so much it makes the drive shaft kinda bind due to it being to long . By moving the front spring purch it gives a lil slack and lowers the car the distance you moved it up by about the same distance . For me i wanted to be lower than any bagged truck in my town and it still drive daily. Most people wouldnt drive it but I love dragging and scrapping on a car/truck that is DIRT NASTY LOW !!! HAHA #staticlife
Did you need to remove your brakelines from the rear before doing this?
Just the line on the back of the wheel cylinder and the ebrake cable has plenty of slack so no need !! Thanks for watching !!
I got a 89 toyota would this wrk on it too??
Mason Lopez Yes. I did it to my ‘93 Xtra cab.
Did you measure 2 inches up from the top of the factory hole or 2 inches up from the center of it?
Center !
Brett Johnson thanks man. I did mine 2 inches straight up from center but used a regular bit that walked on me and one side of the rearend is 1/2 inch back further than the other. I’m gonna have to redo it with the bit like you used. I’ll have to drill slightly higher or lower than the current one I drilled I guess.
@@jenkinsisme1 yeah you can get side ways fast with the bed on and stuff in ur way . hope it works out, if u have to weld a plate over the wrong hole and redrill it its not a big deal .
Turn off the music,
I can't hear anything
Does this mess with your pinion angle?
tilted lower blocks do a better job but this does take a lil stress off from lowering so much.
its probably hard to tell from this video but other videos of lowering these trucks talk about tapered blocks that have a slight (about 2 degree) angle on the top which accounts for the change in axle position. If you use blocks that are square it can mess the pinion angle up, but not enough to cause huge amounts of damage
Does this make it go a lil lower?
yeah ,inch or so
What size bolt you use? Did you get it at a local store?
It appears to be 6" long 3/4" bolts.
