    Gotcha, yeah that kit only gets it about as low as a stock 5 lug. To get to the lowered 5lug height, youre going to want to start with one of those trucks. Even then, youre more than likely going to have to notch the rear portion of the frame and do other modifications

    Cool, safe travels whenever you head back sir!

    Do you by chance have any pics of the qa1s mounted on your truck? Im curious how everything lines up, wondering if the top mounts are the same or if there is any modification needed to get them to work with the sos lowering kit

    nice to see you in here.. :wave: Excited to see how it comes out man! how low you planning on going?

    I've been pretty lazy and preoccupied.. so havent dropped the 86 anymore yet. 4" blocks are still sitting on my workbench. Gathering more parts and still waiting for my wheels so I might hold off and do some maintenance at the same time.

    Keeping things mild with the sos 2" front and 3.5" rear kit. Already installed the rear, just need to do the fronts.. mainly just looking for better handling, not trying to drop it on the frame.... yet:stirthepot:

    Haha yeah, shes leaning.. about an inch or 1.5" lower in the back. Heres a better pic from the side. Its not too bad, but you can definitely tell its squatting. People have asked me, what do you have in the bed of that thing? Lol

    Cant wait to see you slam the 86! That thing is gonna be sick, such a clean truck to start with

    super sleeper. love it!

    Slam is kinda a ways out.. another inch in the rear and leave the front alone for now.. I'll be good. Then I plan on swapping it all out in the future for a clean drop. spindles and leafs vs torsion bars and blocks.

    Lol my exhaust is just loud enough to get people to want to race, then they never see it coming.. I dig it haha

    That sounds like a good plan. Just a mild drop and drive the wheels off of it and enjoy it! Theres plenty of time to go full retard later on:D
