PST 2" Drop Spindle

OP,

I have the drop spindles on my car and am happy with them. I have for ages done as 72blu suggested and raised and lowered my car with torsion bar adjusters and torsion bar size. I’ve driven it that way for years, and he makes a few good points.

However, my reason for running the drop spindles is about suspension travel, with the car as low as I like I had about 1.25” of suspension travel with the “button bump stops”. With my personal preference Mopar .92 (or .96 can’t remember) torsion bars I was hitting the thin poly bump stops all the time. The thin bump stops are just that, thin, and very firm. Hitting the bump stops felt like I was gonna break something...

Thinner torsion bars was worse, and bigger bars I just find too stiff for my liking and had little to no twist in order to get the car where I wanted.

With the 2” drop I have the same fender height, and about 1.75-2” suspension travel with the SOFT factory rubber bump stop and much more twist on my torsion bars which helps increase spring rate some in my understanding.

It drives nice, and I stay off the bump stops unless I hit a BIG pothole on the highway or something. And the soft factory rubber doesn’t make it feel like I’m gonna knock my teeth out.

I will say, that with the drop spindles the car would bottom out with the wheel higher compared to the chassis putting my oil pan, headers, or trans pan closer to being “in harms way”... I haven’t had issues, but something to keep in mind.
