i have a 2001 chevy ls 4 door 4x4 blazer.
it rides very rough never been lifted or lowerd. need advice on makeing it ride smoother i would be willing to lower it some if needed.

 

what you can do is get some different springs and shocks go for a softer riding setup check with your local part store.

 

diff springs? meaning rear end leaf springs?
i thought about removing the over load spring. ont the leaf springs to make softer. but in front i have tor bars dunno if i lower it a bit will it make it softer?

 

well if you lower the front you would be compressing the front making it a stiffer ride as for the rear if you take the overload leaf out it will soften the rear up

 

wouldthe rear endbe to soft? dont want it bouncy. from fourms i read i thought u loosen the tor bolts to lower that makes it compress more? thanks for all the advice..

 

when you lower the front your compressing the suspension if you lift it your taking stress off with the shocks in the rear it shouldn't be bouncy plus you have the other leafs in there its not like your mono leafing it (which is only leaving one leaf in when lowering it )

 

okay well i remove the overload spring in the rear. still need a fix for the front. duno where to go there.

 

go to the part store or an offroad place and see about softer shocks for the front that should help smoothin out your ride nicely

 

i dont think adjusting the tbars would really help. it will also put more stress on other front suspension components. you might think about checking all of the bushings and joints. make sure they are all in working order and grease whichever ones you can.... shocks will also help. they made a big difference forme, however i wanted mine stiffer and less bouncy.

 

well i changed the shocks in the rear made a big diff no reason to remove over load spring.
found out some one put heavy duty shocks all the way around the truck.
