Hey I need to make sure I'm doing everything right and if I'm missing something or doing it wrong let me know.
I have a Sonoma that's a 4x4. The leaf springs are under the axle so I'm going to get 2 inch lowering blocks.

Now for the part I need help with, lowering the front. I know that if I adjust the torson bar bolts 6 counter clockwise turns I'll get about a 2 inch drop. Then I'll need to go get it aligned.
So is all that right and do I need to do something about suspension when I lower my truck?
Also what about this torson key stuff I've read about? Would that make it so I don't have to got get the front aligned after I adjust the torson bolts?

XD

I don't know much about the midsize trucks suspensions, but if you're just trying to go 2" lower, you should be fine just de-cranking. thumb.gif
