With 4WD may be different, but my advice if drag racing is your goal activity...I would do what your planning with a 4 leaf 1500 spring pack rear swaybar and completely ditch the front swaybar or find a way to quick disconnect...my truck consistently spins both back tires now on a launch with the rear sway bar...but even with a basically stock 350 and 11" wide tires it will not dead hook...but my truck had and still has absolutely zero weight transfer...I watched through a ton of that digginZ71 YouTube videos and he's completely removed the front swaybar...like I said 4WD may be different but I'd rather have the back end hook hard and the front more likely to break traction sounds like less breakage to me...also your torsion bars unless your a 454 truck are going to be the same torsion bars as me I ran my RPO codes and I 100% have k2500 350 torsion bars...also be forewarned your upper ball joint angles if your an 8 bolt truck are going to be horrendous I'd look at doing a reverse ball joint flip and mount your control arm to the bottom side of the ball joint just my opinionI’m planning for 4”. Mines a 2500 so I’m swapping to 1500 leaf springs, drop hangers, and drop shackles. I am curious which amount of degree shim you used to correct things.
Up front I’m using 3” drop keys but it will be stiff as it’s a thick 2500 torsion bar .
Overall I don’t mind if it’s not quite as low as yours but close is my goal. Im
In the middle of building the hot side for the gt-45 turbo which will be fun being a 5 speed manual. Will run slicks in summer and studded winters all winter. Alberta life
