Default Just lowered the Extreme...

I put a Ground Force 2/3" drop on 2 days ago. The guy said the front end would settle about another half to full inch in a few days. Just wondering if he's yankin my chain because it wasnt all that low when I picked it up and he didnt want me to complain, or if he's for real.

Also.. would spindles and/or leaf springs (aftermarket of course) improve ride quality? The back end hops like a damn school bus on a country road. Highway travel is much smoother though..

Thanks,
-T

usually the truck will settle..i have heard of gaining 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch drop once everything settles down. As for ride quality...you loose it pretty bad when you lower the truck..its just the nature of the beast

if you go with spindles that helps with camber drop spindles will lower your front another 2 inches and through aim there only 110.00 don't know what shipping is but thats what they are without shipping. as for the rear my suggestion is to get stiffer shocks that would help with the hopping of the rear end.

I would not recommend AIM anything. Go with Belltech drop spindles. For Blazer's they run $300. Not the same spindle as an S-10.
