How do I lower a K5 2 wd
There doesn't seem to be a kit available to lower the rear of a 1977 2 wheel drive K5 4". What problems do you encounter with a C10 shackle hanger kit? Can it be made to work? Is there another way short of a flip kit and then raising it slightly with a 4X4 hanger. Dearching and/or removing leaves? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Re: How do I lower a K5 2 wd
Pulling leaf springs will give you wheel hop.
I've done dropped leaf springs and a longer rear shackle, but that gets into re-routing the fuel filler hose. I like the flip kit and 4x4 rear hanger method. That gives the best stance, but you will need to c-notch the frame. Aftermarket 4-link is another option.

Crown Suspension sells a "blazer specific" notch. I'm sure there are a few other companies that do also. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Crown-Suspe...-/181848752516

Re: How do I lower a K5 2 wd
Here’s how I lowered mine. No notch and it’s never bottomed on the frame.
