ok, i have an 89 s10 blazer 4.3l 2wd, and i want to lower it with a little bit of wheel tuck(17's or 18's). i've tried searching, but have no clue wut all these numbers n stuff are. so i need help on which suspension products to buy to obtain this height. i'm currently running the stock 15's. wut will i need or shall i say how low do i go in the front, and how low do i go in the back? i see belltech 3/3 kits, but will that be enough, or can i buy other things with it to make it lower? I NEED ANY HELP I CAN GET... THANK YOU...lol i could also use a tutor, i just came out of the import world, i just couldnt pass up on the blazer i found.

If you wanna go lower than a 3/3 drop I would suggest looking into bagging your truck if it's 2wd. Requires alot of work, but done right you can lay frame.

Yah the only way to tuck 17's or 18's you need to bag it. Your looking at around 3-5 grand to have a shop do that for you.

It will take a combination of measurements to obtain the info your looking for.

cost about $80 because I bought the 2" spindles from a member on here for CHEAP and 3" blocks.
IMO spindles are the best way to go, and you can pick them up new for $150 plus about $30 for blocks. If you use front springs then dont forget bout the alignment you will need afterword(spindles you dont have to).

you need an alingment even with spindles anytime you take the front end apart you need an alignment
