Re: newbie.

That sucks about the hack job but the drop sounds good. How much of a drop are you doing in the rear flip?

Re: newbie.

The track width on these truck was always wider up front.
Lowering seems to make it more obvious.

Re: newbie.

Mine has spindles and springs and flip in the rear. If you are going to do the flip the axle will be up against the frame. Mine with the flip is probably two inches to low in the rear. I have the shock extenders as well and it rides like crap! If I were to lower the front to match the rear then I have to remove or redo the inner fenders. I think I saw in a thread that lowlife 99 suggested 4wd spring hangers on the rear to raise it back up some. I have been calling salvage yards but can't find any.

Re: newbie.

Man your truck and blazer both look good man. It would have been hard for me to trade because I would have wanted both of them.
