91 Nissan Hardbody

you might of already said this somewhere. but what are your wheel and tires sizes? your truck is sick! I have an hb and am trying to decide what wheel/tire setup to run. I really like yours

Those are slot mags. Think they were 15x7. I've actually seen them on a lot of different cars/trucks since I got rid of them lol

Sweet truck, very simple and clean, what wheels are the white ones you found on the first page, I like those.

I have the redrill done and hopefully a notch coming in the spring (I finally got a mig welder!!) I think what I'd do is mono leaf the rear so it would be slammed. I heard you can actually break the leaf springs from flexing so much. Nothing wrong with some "spirited" driving lol I'd do coils but I want it to be real low. I don't think I could go that much lower static the way my exhaust and frame is now.

yeah mono leaf is super floppy, so basically leaf spring/bag setup is like having blocks that change sizes haha. But anything is possible, im gonna probably end up doing a custom header so my down pipe can tuck above the frame because stock hangs lower. But only thing is once you go so low you basically have to stop your exhaust before the axle or else you have to go up and around it. I want to be a healthy 2" from the ground with the frame and front cross member.

Only problem I for see with leaf and bag setup is you will only go as low as your leaf hangers, Cant remember if you did a redrill. Do a notch and new hangers and I think it will work out. Im just going the 4 link coil route for spirited driving haha

That's pretty awesome actually! I wouldn't mind that but I'm at the point were if I'm spending money, might as well do it the way I want. That hardbody has always been my inspiration. I was hoping he would see this and end all this questioning haha

Me too. I really want to see his rear setup.

Im basically running something similar now. Im running 2in drop leafs 4in blocks and set back plates. That puts me at about 7in rear drop. Needles to say I need a notch. Im basically sitting on my frame. I added rear Monroe air shocks. At 40 psi in the shocks I sit and can drive at my slammed height. At 90psi I get about 2in lift. They max out at 160 psi. I have them run to a Schrader valve in the rear roll pan. So I can air up or out at any gas station with air depending on if Im using the truck to haul, drive or show off.

Yeah. What I may do is static drop the rear as low as I can go and add these. Im gonna fully bag the front and set it up my valves and switch box to run both. I really want to see what that other Nissan is running as a rear setup.

[detsooB]

that doesn't seem that bad. you'd just keep your shocks and everything then?

BASIC IDEA

I don't know how I missed you at h20. You can do a bag over axle setup. Or you can static slam the rear and get air shocks or get airlift helper bags to lift the rear from static slam. Honestly a four link is the proper way to go. Im stuck in the same boat debating what to do about the rear of mine. I do not want to cut my truck up.

Do you keep the leaf springs with a bag over axle setup? I know the "right" way to do it is to do the 4 link but I'm just kind of curious lol. One reason I really want to bag it is because my exhaust is about a 1/4 inch off the ground. As soon as I fix a leak, I get another!

Almost there!

Keyword almost lol
