I lowered my truck 3 inches, the cheap way!
Hello to all my Online BlazerForum Friends & Members!
Today I decided to lower my truck as I've wanted to for some time, but I've been on a very low budget because work is short at the moment.
I learned this is not 100% the real way to lower your truck, by any means is it a low rider but for under $150 you can lower your truck anywhere between 2 - 4 inches if not more doing two things. I've also included a link below of the 3' inch block's I purchased on eBay.
1. If you loosen your tortion bar screws with a tortion key, you can lower or lift your front (that is for 4x4 as I'm doing this on a 97' Chevy Blazer LS 4x4)
2. You can purchase 2' inch 2/3, 3' inch, 3/4, or even 4' inch drop blocks for the rear for under $50 on eBay with free shipping or at your local speed shop and have them installed for under $75.00 at your local suspension shop!
I'll upload the pictures of my truck lowered 3 inches in the front and back with this method in a few days...
Enjoy!

It will say it does not fit for some reason, yet their all the same drop blocks universal for most midsize SUV's and trucks!

Right after I did the front I took it for an alignment, and it is a bit soft but it actually handles very very nice I love it!

BE warned about the key bolts,There is a thing called "chevy lean". I tried this when i had my blazer and the left side was lower then the right. ended up putting em back where they were. besides,it only dropped it like 1 1/2" at most.. I even tried driving it around to see if it just needed to "break in". You will also hit your bump stops
