3 inch drop suggestions
#21
Thanks, I plan on getting 20's eventually, I don't rub on anything, and I have noticed that there is slightly less body roll. Don't get me wrong, you can still tell it's an SUV when you turn, but it's not as bad as before.

You have lowered the center of gravity but you havnt raised the roll center. With lower springs or deep pocket A arms you actually lower the roll center. With lower spindles your roll center stays the same. Prolly two to four inches below ground. NFG

Where did you get your blocks from and what's the angle? I got 4" blocks in the back of my 04 right now but need to swap them out for smaller ones because my crossmember is rubbing on my driveshaft

I have an 04 XBlazer. We dropped the front with spindles and coils a total of 3.5". 4" blocks in the back. New nitro drop shocks all around. Had to cut the bump stops off the frame for the rear. Unless I'm hauling *** and hit a pretty good hole, I don't bottom out but occasionally the rear housing does hit the frame if I'm not careful. I've been driving on it this way for 6 years or so now, only thing that's wore out is 2 wheel bearings (1 front, 1 back), which is probably just from regular wear over the years. Everything was from belltech except the back blocks, they didn't make ones to drop it that much, and I can't remember off the top of my head what brand I used. It rides pretty good for it being so low, here's a pic of what it looks like.
Those 20's aren't on it anymore, I just ordered some zq8's to go back on the truck with some 235/60-16s since its my daily driver and the roads here aren't forgiving at all. The front tires do rub though if I try to full lock the steering wheel over and can't really do super sharp turns anymore, but I haven't gotten it wedged anywhere I can't get out of lol. If you have questions holla, it looks good so far!
.... And I just realize this post is like a few years old (facepalm) I'm new to the forums lol.
