lowering/towing question
I did a quick search and couldn't find what I was loooking for...I just purchased a 78' 2wd that's totally stock and want to lower it in a way that I could still pull an old school 12ft (+/-) camping trailer and the kids/stuff in the back. Anyone know what the best way to go about it would be or have a link to some info? I'm hoping its not a one or the other type of deal.

Re: lowering/towing question
Use air bags to compensate for the weight when you want to pull

Re: lowering/towing question
A Blazer of that vintage should have no problem pulling a 12 foot camper no matter what you do to the suspension. Modify away -

Re: lowering/towing question
I pull my 20' camping trailer and my truck has a 3/5 drop with a axle flip. I don't have any issues.
