Need some Jimmy lowering help!
After much fiasco, I finally got my 338s to fit. I have some spacers for the back and had to go 20x8s in the front and 20x9s in the back. I was trying to go 18's in front, 20's back but they did not fit.
The problem is now it is too high. I have it lowered 2 1/2 in the front and 2" in the rear, but I am going to go 2 1/1 more inches in the front and 2" in the rear for a total of 5/4 that way I will get a little rake. I though I could just order spring hangers as I already have the shackles. But everybody I talk to says that they are different for the truck and not available for the jimmy. I know you guys with all your experience, somebody has only dropped the back 4 or 4 1/2 inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Artie |

stock hangers and a axle flip equal about 6 inch drop. some have used newer tahoe springs in rear to lift it back up about 1.5 inches for a 4 to 5 inch drop

Re: Need some Jimmy lowering help!
The shackles are the same for a truck or Blazer/Jimmy. The problem is the passenger side will not clear the factory filler tube. You will need to build one from exhaust tubing to mkae it clear.
