Hello, new here & have a few ?s..Have a 2001 Edge 3.0L.. wanna drop her without baggin it.. how low can i go? Also as you know its torsion bars n springs up front, and leafed in the back with those damn 2" lifting blocks.. could i take the leaf blocks out, remove a few leaves and re install.. and crank down the bars, get shorter springs? IF possible.. would i have to buy new knuckles or anything like that? Im used to droppin hondas.. this is a lil diff haha. Any help would be great! Thanks guys.

Thank you! See & thats basically what I want it to look like. Simple, cheap way to drop it low, not to the ground & still fit some 20-22s on it maybe.. take the flares off weld the holes nd some other minor fab work I wanna do. And decent paint job.

First of all welcome to TRS, secondly Edge's are a royal pain in the ass to get low. Here's what I posted on another forum it should help you out

Why don't you just flip your stock keys to get lower and not buy anything?

Or get stock 08+ keys that are re-indexed 1.5" lower

:icon_surprised: ........................ looks great!


EDIT: and if you absolutely are going to remove a leaf....only remove the thick overload leaf !!!!!!!!

Do Not remove the over load leaf it is there for a reason, only remove leafs out of the middle of the pack if you absolutely have to. Re-indexed torsion keys http://shop.illusivefabrications.com/drop-torsion-keys/ in the rear remove your lift block, and flip the rear hangers and shackles. This will get you down to about a 3/4 drop and is pretty mugh the max that the front suspension can be realigned with out custom fabricated control arms.
