    U-bolt nuts are torqued to 58ft-lbs if you think you had trouble getting it even.
    I also use a digital caliper to measure the threads on the bolt when cranking the torsion bars up/down to get the ride height even.

      Nice. I didn’t have any trouble getting it even, but thank you for more info. 👍🏽

    Chrome sockets on an impact. He knows what hes doing

      Haha, I’d use impact sockets if you’d like to buy me some. You gotta do what you gotta do right? Some of us don’t have mommy and daddy to buy us things we need. In the end did it work? I drove the heck out of the truck and I don’t have any problems yet. I don’t ever claim that the way I do it is the only way, I just show how I do it to give others an example on one way to do it. You can start a channel and teach everyone why you’d use the different types of sockets. If not, then cool story bro! Commenting on UA-cam instead of doing something about it. You definitely know what you’re doing. Thanks for watching and happy holidays!

    love the video, My 80 Datsun 720 king cab height is like a 1" or 2" lower on the driver side than the pass side. Is all i do is tighten up the driver side to bring it up some, or do I have to pull the bar off and move the spine a notch over a turn on driver side to go up a little? I want to bring up the driver side to match the passenger side height

      I got mine at pep boys. You should be able to find them at an automotive parts store or on Amazon.

    Not wild about lowering these nice little trucks like that, nor puttin wagon wheels and thin tires on them either.

      It’s all good. Everyone likes what they like. Some like them all original, some like them modded, and some just don’t like them at all.

    You could have removed another leaf. These stock motors won’t move that rear end much.

    You did okay it was kind of amusing for me I would have taken the tires off in the back so you're not laying underneath it never use a crescent wrench and I thought you were going to lower this truck you can take that extra block out take those extra leaf out just use the one main big one and your helper small spring that will get you your drop and as for the front you did it right except for you don't need to take it for a test drive just push up and down on the fenders on each side and see where it sits and if it's not where you want it readjust it the same way you were coming down or if it's too low go back up but you have to count each one of those bolt threads on both sides so they match I usually measure each side 1 in but you don't have to do that some trucks sit one and a half inch but it was a good how to video I like that yellow banana except it still sits way too high 😂😂 keep up the great videos I subscribed to you because I want to see what you do with your channel good luck buddy don't give up just keep plugging the videos out

    How did you calculate how much the torsion bar needed to be lowered in order to fit the correct ride heigjt
