Im buying a s10 blazer but all i can find is 4x4 and im going to lower it. they say u can lower a 4x4 but the only thing is the front tire sticks out further on them then a 2wd.how can i keep the front tires from sticking out.

I believe they mean the front wheels have a larger offset causing them to stick further out. You can fix that by finding wheels with a smaller offset.

ok,whoever said that is a idiot,OR you got the information wrong. 4wd and 2wd have different offsets on rims. if you put 4wd on 2wd it'll stick out..

dont worry about that crap.

to lower you can get torsion bar lowering keys. are they easy to put in? Nope. unless you are mechanically inclined enough to put a engine in,take it to a shop. for the rear,get some blocks. make sure they are slanted. saying this ive not got a clue how low you wanna lower it.
