LoudBlazer Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 you got 2"s in the front?!!!!!!!!!! I did the same but i got maybe 1" in the front. The front you will have to adj. the bolts till its even. The rear i couldnt tell you, maybe check the blocks and see if they are the same. Might no have the blocks in right Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droopy89 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I know that on the 2wd s10s and Blazers, theres this thing called the "Chevy Lean", almost all of them lean to the drivers side, it varies on the amount that it leans though. On your 4wd, idk, maybe you didnt get back together right Quote 1997 S10 EC Whats in it 106.9 Sq.ft. Hushmat DB Elec. 250 amp alt.

LoudBlazer Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 So you removed the key? or did the flip? or took the adjuster bolts all the way out? Quote 1997 2 Door Blazer Bagged & Body Dropped SBC/TH350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your 4wd, idk, maybe you didnt get back together right My s-10 definitely has the lean, though mine is a first gen. Not sure if that carries through to the newer models like lil italy's Quote Team B2, Team Audiotechnix, Team Kicker, Team XS Power, Team Sundown, Team Maxxsonics, Team DD2008 Bassrace 130-139.9 Regional and National Champion2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2012 MECA Champion (S1, SR1, S2, S3, S4, DB1) -1 DD 9510F + 2 Sundown SAZ2500's @ .7 ohm strapped=154.2 headrest, 129.2 driveby-2 DD 9510F's + 2 Sundown SAZ2500's @ 1 ohm strapped=154.0 headrest-1 DD 9512F + 2 Sundown SAZ2500's @ 1 ohm strapped=153.5 headrest, 131.1 Driveby -2 DD 9512F + 2 B2 Zero1's @ .5 strapped= 157.0 headrest, 158.0 outlaw-1 Sundown SA-8 + 2 MB Quart 2000's=148.8 headrest, 150.6 outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudBlazer Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Ive done 3" blocks in the rear and screwed out the torsion adj. bolts. I got about a 4" drop in the rear and maybe 1" maybe 1.5. I dont have a lean but i have just a bit of uneven front to back. Also got alot of squeaks but no suspension problems (knock on wood).

lil_italy773 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 i had the squeaks but it only lasted bout 15mins then it went all away. ok so its just natual for the truck to lean is what it sounds like. kinda sux but i guess i can live with it thanks tom and anyone else that has anymore input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyk90 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think part of it has to do with the gas tank being only on the driver's side as well. 10+ gallons of gas isn't light. I think it makes it lean from the weight of the fuel and then it just kind of wears the suspension down over time.
