4x4 torsion and blocks
i own a 4x4 97 blazer LS stock and want to lower the front and back ..i was thinking since i'm on a very small budget of unscrewing the torsion bars almost all the way and 3 or 4 inch lowering blocks on the back..will this give it a nice look? noticeable? do i need to cut the bumpstops?what should i use to cut them? how long until i need to get an alignment? can it be 2 more weeks of driving to and from work? does anyone have pictures of a blazer like mine lowered with torsion bolts/blocks.any ideas what i can do for noticeable DIY changes? I'm thinking about doing the clear corner oven thing and maybe taking the luggage rack off thx.
i know it would be a good investment to get the keys or whatever but i realy just dont have the money .. can i do that thing where i loosen the tortion bolts and get a drop..will it be around 3-4 inches?does the tortion bolts need an impact wrench?what size socket/wrench? thx.

i have a 4x4 jimmy and i lowered mine 3 and 4 so i don't see why you could not lower yours. it is not hard. oh dont buy that tool they say you need to get the keys out. you dont need it i used a gear puller and it worked fine. i got it from autozone and it was only like $20 or $30 not $100+. you can email me at kendrickjr8@aol.com if you have any questions.
cool but do i have to do the tortion bar trick thing or can i get a good drop on it from backing out the tortion bolts i've never done anything like that and just don't want to mess anything up

Man, a lowered zr2? I dont really enjoy the sound of that, but if there is no supper emotional attachment, See if you can trade it for a non zr2/2wd... You can drop those real fast.... I think there has been discussion previously, but hitting up the search function will get you some answers
