Belltech makes a 2" drop spindle. I don't think anyone makes a 3". They are the most expensive part of the drop. I think I paid $250 for mine. They are not the same as the S-10. The Blazers have a sealed hub. I think that is the reason the spindles are more expensive. Also get the Belltech 3" shorter coil springs. I also went with the monotube drop shocks from Belltech also.


I got all of my stuff from Stylin Concepts but it does not hurt to shop around.

No one makes 3 inch spindles anymore they were found to be unsafe. I got my 2 inch spindles for $50(thanks to zero psi).
LORCLAS I wish my blazer has rear disk brakes.
I'm looking to drop mine 3 more in the front and take my 3 inch blocks out the back and get 4 inchers.

Might want to go with drop leafs and the 3" block. I hear the 4" block is not that safe. Kinda like the 3" drop spindles. Too much drop out of one thing.

3 inch control arms are awsome, they are just to pricey for me though.

Springs and spindles will keep your steering angles in check. I know a lot of people that did the static drop I described earlier with no problems. Plus if you run bags eventually you will need the spindles. Springs and blocks are inexpensive. Spindles are the most expensive part of the drop. Spend the extra bux and get the Belltech monotube shocks too.

Don't forget the notch too.

Think I could JUST get away with the springs or do I need the spindles too?

You can just do springs for now. I would wait and do spindles at the same time. Unless you don't mind doing the work twice.
