Extreme ride hight
Hoy all,
I finally was able to crawl under the Blazer today and found this:
My old school training tells me something isn't right, having the lower A arm bumpers being that close to the frame. Now the previous owner did put 2” drop spindles on, but that shouldn't affect the position of the A arm should it? Do drop spindles pull the lower A arm up, effectively pulling the frame down? I thought drop spindles just relocated the spindle on the knuckle.

Hrm....I'd say a half inch of suspension travel up front is completely normal

That blazer must sit pretty low, -3 1/2 inches in front.

That's what I thought. I'll be asking the PO if he did anything to the springs, but I'm pretty sure he didn't. Were there problems with the factory springs wearing out prematurely?

I'd say that the previous owner lowered it with springs not spindles, thats why the lower control arm is higher.
