ChromeJerome Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer 4D LS 4x4 that is currently dropped 2" all around, using pinion angled blocks on the rear leaf springs, and dropped in the front by removing the 4wd driveshaft. So essentially, it is a 2wd blazer. I was wanting to know if now I could take the same approach as people with 2wd blazers, or are there still restrictions on how I can go about dropping it further since it used to be a 4wd? I'm looking to drop it 2 more inches (4 total) all around, any tips/ideas on how I could do this? Not looking to buy cheap $50 lowering springs off of ebay or anything, I know I will sacrifice some ride quality, but I want to do it right. Also, should I look into stiffer shocks to prevent rubbing or scraping when going over bumps? They say money can't buy you happiness...but money buys car audio...and car audio makes me happy.

x91evo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 How you prevent scrapping over bumps is called bumpstops.I would imagine you need a shorter rear driveshaft, since your OE. one was for a truck that had some lift.If not whats going to happen is your driveshaft is going to physically limit the amount the car can go down
fox_racin4 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Your going to need to find and or make some half shafts for the front, Maybe look into swapping to a 2wd front spindl. If yiu can, they make drop spindls which will be the best route for the front ( again, not sure if a 2wd spindl will fit on a 4wd front end) 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole

ChromeJerome Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Posted June 23, 2013 Not set in stone, but looking at going with torsion keys in the front and 3" drop leaf springs in the rear with 2" drop blocks.
