So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
Ok im buying an 01 Blazer on monday. 40K original miles. I have a sick set of kmc 18's for it and i want to do a 5/7 drop. My stupid question is cuz ik there is alot of problems with the spindles could i do it this way > http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=DJM%2DKS2331%2D3% 2D4&N=700+4294908216+4294925130+4294839061+4294844 590+115&autoview=sku
Any add a 2 inch coil and 3 in leafs? Any questions or pictures of drop blazers would be killer. Heres the blazer. ![]() Last edited by Woody22 : 07-01-2008 at 02:09 AM. |

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
go with belltech. 3 inch coils and 2 inch spindals for the front, 3 inch leafs and 4 inch blocks for the rear. Then a mean alignment

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
nope. Suicide doors wouldn't sell them if they weren't the best. But if not try AIM. I heard sh!tty things about their spindals but i've been running them for 5 years and had them on 4 trucks without a problem.

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
A 5/6 will probably level it out better. Here's what I'd do: 2" spindles, 3" coils (your a-arms will smack the frame on big dips), lean spacer, 3" leafs, 2" JTR blocks, 3 deg. JTR shims(I'm guessing), JTR setback plates, and a custom or SD notch. That'll give you roughly a 5/5.5 this will give you a slight rake. Mine is dropped 4/4.5 using 2" Belltech spindles, Lean spacer, 2" DJM coils, pulled leaf, 2" JTR blocks, JTR Setback Plates, JTR 3 deg. shim, and a custom notch w/ nitro 2's. Rides better than factory. http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Par...ng-Blocks.html Also I've ran Summit brand shocks and Belltech Nitro 2 shocks and I like the Nitros a lot better.

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
![]() You can also get the SD notch, but it's like $100. BTW I don't understand you question all the way. You want to know how far you can drop it w/o notching then you say a notch is in order for that. I'm lost. |

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
You can probably go 3.5" w/o a notch (2dr's are a little different than 4dr's) So yes with 6" you'll need a notch.

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
5/6 will sit perfect, i am at that level with no notch.... dont do that i only can run a half of tank and have a quarter of an inch clearance before my axle hits the frame. im notching it in the coming weeks.
blazers suck spindels arnt cheap but theres nothing wrong with them whatsoever. |

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
i have most of the parts on order. just need leafs...and a notch. so it will still be a few more weeks before i install all of the stuff. i want to do it all at once so im not tearing it apart 15 billion times. lol yeah i don't mind not having power windows...im getting tint all around this friday so i can actually drive it and feel comfortable...lol

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
and 5/7ish here.. its 2" spindles, 3" coils, 3" leafs and 3/3.5" block/shim/setback plate. and i got a huge ass sub box for 2 15's that brings the back down. and im notched and i hit inside it if i turn the corner with any kind of speed or any kind of bump. so air shocks ftw! the front is still setteling. i had the front all cleared from rubbing inners but recently the tire started hitting the inners on big bumps. pic whore time! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() before air shocks..and the rear end jacked up so it does sit a little lower on the ground ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
wickedmayhem. your the reason why i bought a 2wd 2dr blazer. it looks so sick and not alot a poeple have them. and even less have a 5 speed with 40 thousand miles.
As for the tint i think im gona do 5 on the rear windows and like 30 on the front. Also i think im going to do a 5/7 cuz i like the look of the rear end sittin a little lower than the front....its static cali lol ![]() Last edited by Woody22 : 07-07-2008 at 02:58 AM. |

Re: So the blazer needs to be closer to earth...questions
Oh ok.
I know nothing about tint. He told me it was 5% but I rode in it too and you can't see anything at night. I'm surprised he hasn't had a wreck yet. |
