Dropping my zq8

**samahok** · 10-28-2009, 04:51 AM

hi i am wanting to lower my 2000 ext cab sonoma zq8. i only wanted to go another 2/3. i was wondering what the best way to achieve that is while keeping the best ride meaning should i do spindles or springs, blocks or leafs etc.
thanks

yep do a 2" spindle, and 3"block. you'll need to cut your bumpstop bracket off the frame, but the truck will be sitting good.

hows the ride with drop blocks? i came across someone locally who wanted 75 for some belltech leafs. should i do that or just stick to the blocks? because the dude told me the leafs would ride way better than blocks, but then again hes tryin to sell me so he could jus be bsing me.
