General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Interesting.....

I'm interested in this as well, but what about your control arms? And now that I think about it, if I have a 2 inch body lift already on there, and I wanted 1.5 inches out of the torsion bar and put 1.5 inch lift shackles and got this drop diff bracket to correct angles, would I need longer shocks at this point?

Front you shouldnt( I didnt) the rear if you dont offroad you wont need new shocks. If you do off road you will need a little bit longer shocks. I have shocks off a 1996 4x4 fullsize chevy truck(about 3inches longer) becuse my old ahocka would max out befor I would be flexed out.

You should be fine since the front shocks hook up to the shock mount which is hooked up to the frame and the rear shocks are hooked up to a subframe which is only being lifted 1.5-2" as you said. Most people dont need different shocks

PJ, if you end up ordering it, let me know how it goes. I'm seriously thinking about it as well.
