How To Lower Your Nissan Hardbody!! 

I appreciate you Homie! I have tons of cool, installing aftermarket part videos for these trucks! But we'll get big someday!!! thank you for your feedback!😎🤙🏼

I love that you have both! I have a couple friends that were big and a mini trucks back in the day that had slammed full-size trucks now, they're all cool and go together so well!!

honestly, just to bring it up the inch and a half to 2 inches just crank up your torsion bars, all you gotta do is tighten them, bring it for a quick little test, drive and then park it and then just adjust it until it's level, the shocks always go on these things, though, I would make sure you have a good fresh set of shocks to help it stiffen up a little! If you crank up your torsion bars and have trash shocks, it'll Bounce all over the place when you hit bumps.

Yeah thanks for watching the videos and supporting!! And awesome, hopefully it goes well for you it’s pretty easy to do just make sure you get that front end alignment after!

love to hear it!! the hanger redrill is the next step to go lower! ( depending on wheel size)

The fronts the easier if the 2! May have to drive it around a little bit to make sure it settles, and then remeasure readjust, if needed, and then get an alignment and you'll be all good to go!

@@JapaneseMinitruck do I NEED to remindex the torsion bars if only lower it a small amount? I just want it to match the 3” blocks in the back

@@uncleiroh6127 no not at all, I completely slammed my other truck without having to pull and remindex the torsion bar, you just loosen it and down your truck goes! Hahah

Thanks so much homie!! And you’ll love it once you get one, they are so much fun!!

I have a vid on the truck on my channel with all the info!! I love to hear that! The Nissan trucks are so fun!

these are 15 x 10! I do have to say though I highly recommend 15 x 8 you still have to do a little fender rolling but the 15 by tens will destroy your wheel wells unless you don't care hahaha , unfortunately I'm not sure what the exact offset was

@@JapaneseMinitruck lol ok well truck looks good! I ll be lowering mine soon once I can find some nice wheels for it 😅

They are 10 inch wide American racing wheels!

You can get a set of 4 inch lowering blocks right from Jegs for $50.00!!

this truck had 15x10 all around, I don't really recommend it, though if you're to fo low, the wheels would destroy the wheel wells

I definitely wouldn’t ride on bump stops because once they come out your ride will be completely uneven unless you readjust the torsion bars, best bet is just pull them out you really don’t buy them out bad or anything I cut off the bump stop metal cup as well, it’ll actually probably ride better than riding on bump stops to be very honest!

@@JapaneseMinitruck Thanks!

I’m not too sure unfortunately, way bigger than a 2 Wheel Drive should’ve had, I know they were “31s” but I don’t removed the actual tire dimensions

They do it on some heavy duty trucks essentially you could use the blocks to lift or lower but I don’t think it’s the first thing I would do, I would definitely recommend getting bigger leaf springs or even starting with some lead spring shackles to lift up the rear!

15x10 american racing wheels!

Hey what’s up, and nah don’t stress it nothing sounds dumb, yes the bigger the block to use all over your vehicle goes, I wouldn’t recommend anything past 4 inch lowering blocks though, even then I feel like the 4 inch are a little tall

@@JapaneseMinitruck oh okay I see thanks, I’m not looking for a crazy drop as I would still like my truck to be somewhat practical.

No you should be all set! The lowered black 2 Wheel Dr. is running those exact tires with four inch lowering blocks!

I would definitely recommend lifting up the front of the truck even if you only get the tires an inch off the ground, I think it’ll help with any unwanted stress and could possibly make loosening the torsion bars go a little smoother. As far as the torsion bars go there should be two bolts make sure you crack free the first nut and then you can crank both nuts at the same time possibly or you’ll have to work one with a wrench at a time it takes a good couple minutes to do, i’ve never had one stuck to the point where I couldn’t do it anything with it but have you tried soaking it in some PB blaster?

I would totally lower it down, I have videos on how to do it and it's really simple, you just need some 4 inch lowering blocks, that's about $50 and then you can just crank down your torsion bars but then you have to get a front end alignment but it'll make the truck handle so much much better and just look so much better, there's many ways to go about your exhaust, this truck is basically straight pipe with the cherry bomb, it was a friends truck wich was sold a few years back, if you want some of my other videos or especially on my Instagram of my purple truck, I have headers, 2 1/4 inch exhaust piping, a vibrant resonator and manaflow muffler and it sounds very clean and deep tone, also I don't know what your states tent laws are as I am in Maine

@@JapaneseMinitruck I’m in Virginia and it don’t make sense to me

I've seen a few people run 3 inch blocks no problem, if they are like 8 inches wide I can't imagine going to 4inch block will give you many problems, worth a try!

I only other recommendation is just to make sure you have a good shocks

it's better to get angled blocks, I'm pretty sure I say in the video which way to point them, or you can look it up, regardless, just make sure they go the right way because it'll help with your differential angle once you put the blocks under it, and just doing just lowering blocks shouldn't give you any long run trouble, if you slam it with 4 inch blocks and do the leafspring hanger re drill, eventually your driveshaft will wear out faster and you'll need to get a new one made custom for your suspension geometry

Thx a lot for the reply bro !!!

They are American racing wheels!

So the truck is on 10 1/2 inch wide wheels, front and back with just a big negative offset! They’re definitely cool but in the future I wouldn’t go with a 10 inch wheel maybe an eight it’s a little too much stress on the trucks components

@@JapaneseMinitruck cool cool. So an 8 inch wide wheel w a negative offset? I just want them a little past flush. Another thing. Are the rims wider than the tires? That's why they look like they're being pulled?

The tires are definitely a little stretched, 8 inch will give you a pretty good stance with a little bit of poke I think, could probably run a 225, 50,15 or 195, 50/15 tire and have a decent stretch probably only need a 195 - 50-15. If you go with 8 inch if you go with 10 I would do it a 225

@@JapaneseMinitruck ight den. Thanks bro. I'm excited about my mini truck project. I just got it a couple weeks ago and just trying to get some ideas while I get her running right.

Of course man, that’s super exciting! What did you get for a mini truck!?

Hahaha as much as I would love to daily 2 2WD’s I can’t get rid of my four-wheel-drive, it was my first truck so it’s super sentimental!

It's all good man, it's not for everybody, most the time when you lower a vehicle, it drastically improve handling, it could be easier to load your truck when it's lower to the ground, and some people just really enjoy the look of it, it's about the same thing as lifting a Truck, yeah, you can go over things, but now your vehicle is way slower, it's super impractical there a certain places you can't go listed as you can't, lowered, different strokes for different folks

American racing full dishes!
