Recommend a rear setup...

[72gmcshorty]

I have my frame apart and was wondering what is a recommended setup for lowering the rear as low as possible without altering the floor. Right now i have 2 bags. What other products would be useful?

We offer a couple different variations of a "Stage 2" kit that will accomplish what you are looking for. Here are a couple build threads with our Stage 2 kit:

I recommend the above mentioned Porterbuilt products!^^^

If you can't fit them in your budget,... at least install a set of rear shock relocators, a good set of quality drop shocks, and an adjustable track bar. (panhard bar)

Does your truck have a notch? Unfortunately, i can't afford the PB stuff... my plan is a notch, shock relocators, shocks of some size, and a trac bar. I am not sure of do i need the super trac bar or regular adjustable one.

I like the Super Track Bar from ECE, with a max static drop (5"-7.5" rear drop) or bagged drop.

My red '69 has a 6" rear spring and a 1.5" block with a bolt-in c-notch, shock relocators and drop shocks.
My '71 blazer is bagged with the same notch, 2" blocks, shock relocators and drop shocks.

We also offer a "basic" version of the stage 2. It allows you to keep your factory trailing arms and factory trailing arm x-member. It includes our 2-piece notch, shock relocator system, shocks, trac-bar, bags, and all hardware/bracketry. You can e-mail me or pm if you have any questions.... if my product isn't within the budget, I will still be happy to help you find something that works for you.

A block is not needed with this kit due to our shock relocation system (if running the shock relocator kit from CPP or ECE it is recommended to run the block to have a little extra room with the shocks. These kits wil work, but the shock angle is far from optimum).

With the basic kit (uses factory trailing arms), your axle will bottom out in the notch before the bags and shocks reach their maximum compression.

Nate,

How did you route the exhaust with this setup?

Also, Nate was nice enough to show me around his shop a few months ago. He really is a cool guy.
