Lowering Help?
Alright well I've decided to finaly drop my blazer. I was looking at the lowest I can find which is 4 front 5 back. Can this actually be done on a blazer and exactly how low will this put me? Also Do I have to do anything special for that low of a drop?

shouldn't have to do any cutting. best bet would be to call the manufacturer and make sure its a bolt on kit and no cutting or notching is necessary. what company were u looking at?

I dont remember who I was talking to bout it but someone on the forum said they had dropped a blazer 4/5 and had to make a tunel for the driveshaft, and had to move the rear seats.

What are you going to use to drop it? Are you going to use 2" drop spindles and 3" shorter coils? How bout out back?

I gotta check the kit out more and find out I just saw 4,5 and i was like omg! lol. If I have have to tunnel the driveshaft and move seats I'll say screw it and just 3,4 it with spindles and blocks [&:]

Here is what it will look like with 2" drop spindles, 3" shorter coils and 3" drop blocks in back. Don't forget to flip your rear brake lines. Might also want to get a C-notch.

Flip the rear brake lines............

RE: Lowering Help?
The brake lines run in an arch shape to the caliper. After you lower the back the frame will rub against the brake line. You want the brake line to look like a U shape. Just disconnect the banjo fitting from the caliper, flip the line so it looks like a U, then reinstall the banjo fitting. Probably will need to bleed brakes too. This will prevent the brake line from rubbing against the frame.
Should look like this when done

Hey so I have to flip that if I do a simple 3" or 2" drop in the back?

You don't have to. I knew I was bagging mine eventually so I did it. With a 3" drop it will rub a little, but would probably be OK. I did not want to take any chances so I flipped.
