I have recently acquired a 1993 Toyota pickup and have decided to lower it. I have bought the 4inch Beltech blocks and did the torsion bars in the front but still want to go lower.<br />

I was wondering if anyone has ran the street edge leafs with a 3 inch block in the rear.<br />

Also if anyone has had any issues with the driveshaft becoming too long when lowering, the stock one now seems to be pushed right up to the tranny.]]></content:encoded>

I also noticed it has a vibration at 45 mph and the axle has shifted over to the passenger side slightly. I’ve taken the rear end apart and put back together as straight as possible...<br />

The previous owner added a thick leaf in the rear, but kept the front at stock height (I think they were towing a trailer). I have since raised the front by cranking the torsion bars. I have zero droop in the rear due to the stiffness of the added leaf (already checked shock lengths), and my front upper bump stop is limiting my droop in the front.<br />
