since i have a extended cab. i need angled blocks? do those come with the belltech kit?

***HAWK*** · 01-20-2006, 03:42 PM

yea you will need angled blocks.... and what kit are you talking about?

*sorry slow reply*

JohnnyT · 03-01-2006, 09:25 PM

The question about the spacer still hasn't been answered. Where does this spacer go? Driver's side or passenger, front or rear? I'm ordering my drop soon and don't want any lean so someone please answer this for me!

TruStinger · 03-01-2006, 10:24 PM

the chevy lean doesnt do anything really, i know its there but it takes a while for anyone else to notice either. i think jagsthatrun.com might sell em.

not all the trucks have it...... so might want to put the drop on first and check. mine had no lean and it doesnt have a spacer

BeyondeXtReMe · 03-02-2006, 08:26 PM

i just ordered a 2/3rds, but I went out and measured my truck and I dont have any lean at stock height, does this mean i wont have a lean when i drop?

***HAWK*** · 03-02-2006, 10:29 PM

you shouldnt have any problems....

did you have a full tank or empty tank?

remember a full tank may make your truck lean to the driver side, while an empty makes it level....

BeyondeXtReMe · 03-03-2006, 12:15 AM

hmm well it was full when i put it in storage in the fall so it should still be up there cuz I've only let it run and took it around the block.

bassndownlow · 04-05-2006, 04:24 PM

where is the best place to buy the whole kit for the 2in drop spindles in the front and the 3in blocks in the rear but in my case it will be the slanted blocks? Any suggestions on where i should order this for my truck?

2Xtreme · 04-06-2006, 12:59 AM

the cheapest ive seen is summit racing 129.99 plus shipping 9.50 for spindles i think the blocks were like 40 im not sure and i also think that the 9.50 flat rate so if you order both at the same time the shipping stays the same

***HAWK*** · 04-06-2006, 02:17 AM

129.99? did they lower their prices on them? they used to be 149.99 but yea summit racing will your cheapest anyways.....

2Xtreme · 04-06-2006, 03:39 PM

yea i check like a week ago...i need to wait till income tax comes in to get mine!

kdh · 04-26-2006, 01:15 PM

hey guys, i haven't seen the drop info for the blazer parts yet.. can someone please post'em up? =)

Fast_Lo96 · 05-05-2006, 02:02 PM

okay...so maybe im an idiot...but there isnt very much specific reference to the angled block/flat block issue...who established that you have to have angled blocks on a ext cab and flat on reg cab???

shouldnt there still be something to correct the messed up pinion angle?

i have a regular cab zq8 with angled blocks and another leaf pulled and i have only had one problem with all of this...that third shock makes it a bitch to get the axle back on after i take it off...now im wondering if the resistance fromk the shock could be hiding the fact that the driveshaft is too short to use an angled block...i have no proof but it would make sense...i did pretty much my entire suspension before i learned of the s10 forum...so most of the problems i had i just figured them out myself...id just like to see some reliable information...if the need be i can go rip mine apart and figure it out

***HAWK*** · 05-07-2006, 01:57 AM

heh.... thats basically it, the small amount of pinion change. it really doesnt matter if you put angled on a ext cab though..... so i dont think thats your problem

TruStinger · 05-07-2006, 02:20 AM

i heard that it wears the seals excessively.

Fast_Lo96 · 05-07-2006, 08:37 PM

anyone know for sure?

blacknight03 · 05-22-2006, 12:56 AM

will a 2/3 drop on a xtreme coils and leafs level out the suspension and have no rake?

***HAWK*** · 05-22-2006, 01:03 AM

um not sure on that.. but i do know if you leave the front level and just add a 2" block it will sit almost perfectly level..

adding 2" drop coils wlil only lower ur front end .5"

TruStinger · 05-22-2006, 04:04 AM

by 2/3 i think he is referring to 2" spindles in front, i just did it and it looks level to me.

blacknight03 · 05-22-2006, 08:07 AM

no just coils and leafs (or blocks) im too scared of a cracked air dam

***HAWK*** · 05-22-2006, 02:56 PM

it depends how much block are we talking and how much of a drop coil?

remember that the xtreme already have 1.5" drop coils on them, so adding a 2" coil will only lower it about .5"

the easiest way is just to measure all 4 corners from lik the top of the fender, that will tell how much you need to make it level

TruStinger · 05-22-2006, 05:54 PM

after my 2" spindles on my x, i dont bottom out...

***HAWK*** · 05-22-2006, 10:00 PM

well really it all depens on the driveways in your area. no you wont ever bottom out just because of the freeway or somethin, but if you hit a steep driveway straight on, ya you will fuk it up, or if you go to far up to a parking block or anything.. but you can still mess it up just as much stock as you can lowered. a 2/3 really isnt that bad.... chances are he may barley smack the ground a few times if he hits a driveway too fast or wrong..

***HAWK*** · 05-22-2006, 10:02 PM

and to be honest from the picture in your avatar i think your truck is black.... my airdam is cracked to hell and since its black you cant even tell

because when you hit, it turns it a black color. so yea white trucks get screwed when they bottom out.. but our black ones you cant hardly tell

TruStinger · 05-23-2006, 12:21 AM

my air dam is fuzored together in the middle, and fuzor is yellow! lol. i forgot that until i was under there yesterday.

lowriderbowtie · 05-25-2006, 11:47 PM

Meh.. works for now. Would look better on the ground!

99 Sdime · 06-09-2006, 11:43 PM

k so i have a 2/3 using front drop spindles and back 3" blocks

i want to go two more inches lower in the front and about 2 more in the back.. maybe like
1 1/2 inches... i want the front to be slightly lower than the back because right now it looks like the back is just barely lower if any.. i still like the rake look

could i pull one middle leaf and put some 2" drop coils up front and have about a 4/3 and a halfish drop to a 4/4 drop??

***HAWK*** · 06-10-2006, 12:03 AM

no because the xtremes come stock with 1.5" drop coils... so if you want ANOTHER 2" you'll have to get 3.5" drop coils (dunno if they even make that)

so in the rear i guess you could pull a leaf and get about 1.5" yea....

Hammrshell · 06-25-2006, 03:08 AM

ok i have never heard a definate answer either way. 2002 blazer x 2/3 belltech drop 2102 spindles, but what about the blocks, angled or not??

***HAWK*** · 06-25-2006, 02:36 PM

ive never heard a definite answer either... i know people who use both....

i have also been told that with flat blocks i will need shims. and something new i came across, fliping the brake lines?? im lost....

***HAWK*** · 06-26-2006, 05:00 AM

yea for somereason on the blazers when you lower them the brake lines are really close to rubbing so they flip them to avoid that.... id check out the droppin it' section and search "2/3 blazer" im sure you can get a better answer from that then from me. hah

It has the Zq8 suspension package.....which includes steering box, sway bars, Bilstein shocks front and back, sits 1.5 inches lower than the stock S-10 using drop coils

For most of the people who can't afford bags or just want to go a little lower and level it out because of this 1.5 drop, the most popular drop is the 2/3 (2 in front and 3 in back) This involves using 2 inch drop spindles and 3 inch drop blocks **note** if you have an extended cab, you use ANGLED blocks!

The most popular setup and cost efficient one I have seen is through Summit racing and the part numbers go as follows

a 2/3 drop

belltech drop spindles bel-2100
and belltech 3" blocks bel-6200 or bel-6202 (depending on if you have a extended cab or not)

This usually runs for about $170 shipped, and is pretty easy to do with the follow along instructions.

**Note** Some cut the bumpstops out halfway or completly this is to prevent from bottoming out hardcore, and also you will run into the infamous Chevy lean where one side will lean about a 1/4 of an inch lower than the other side, this can simply be solved by using the spacers that are available at Summit.

I hope this has helped answer some questions and if I forgot anything I will add it later! Keep on rockin kids!

FYI: Just did my 2/3" drop on my 03' ZQ8 Xcab, no lean at all, measures square @ the fenderwells all 4 corners.

03_xtrem_xcab · 07-18-2006, 05:42 PM

TIRES HITTING INNER FENDER WELL ON BUMPS/DIPS ????????

Just a heads up on the 2/3 drop I just did on my 03 Xdime, Xcab, 4.3. Was driving home from work and drove through a hell'va dip in the road @ 35 MPH. Tires (255/45/18's) slammed up into the inner fender well and threw me forward big time, like instant slam on the binders !!!!!!!! What a frock'n wake up call that was.

There is a cure for this if you have this same problem. I made some aluminum custom shim blocks to shim up the lower "A" arm bump stop on a 8 degree angle, works like a charm. Took the same dip @ 50 MPH, no problems............

***HAWK*** · 07-18-2006, 06:09 PM

wow thats the first time i've ever heard that one..... when i was running stockers i never bottomed out on the fenders up front, but thts good you found a way to fix it at least....

MastaE1024 · 07-18-2006, 06:47 PM

I plan on getting a 2/2 drop b/c my truck is level now excep for the drivers side which has the "chevy lean". Im going to get the spindles and blocks for my ext. cab and was wondering wat is the part # at summit for the 2" angled blocks?? Plus will i still be able to haul my yamaha warrior around w/o bottoming out after i cut off the bumpstops??

MastaE1024 · 07-19-2006, 03:08 AM

Nvm i found the part # i guess all i had to do is read, bel-6102. But i think im going to go with a 2/3 so it doesnt matter. With the drop could i still run a stock exhaust or would i have to get a turndown? Plus will i still be able to haul stuff around??

You can still run a stock exhaust, depending on the rollpan/bumper you have you may want to cut off roughly 6" but that would only be for cosmetic purposes.

As for hauling stuff around, you shouldn't have much of a problem. I've hauled furniture, bikes, wheels/tires and had no issues whatsoever.

If you go over a bed load of 900 lbs, you will have issues....

Just a heads up on the 2/3 drop I just did on my 03 Xdime, Xcab, 4.3. Was driving home from work and drove through a hell'va dip in the road @ 35 MPH. Tires (255/45/18's) slammed up into the inner fender well and threw me forward big time, like instant slam on the binders !!!!!!!! What a frock'n wake up call that was. There is a cure for this if you have this same problem. I made some aluminum custom shim blocks to shim up the lower "A" arm bump stop on a 8 degree angle, works like a charm. Took the same dip @ 50 MPH, no problems............ Last edited by 03_xtrem_xcab : 07-18-2006 at 05:48 PM.

I plan on getting a 2/2 drop b/c my truck is level now excep for the drivers side which has the "chevy lean". Im going to get the spindles and blocks for my ext. cab and was wondering wat is the part # at summit for the 2" angled blocks?? Plus will i still be able to haul my yamaha warrior around w/o bottoming out after i cut off the bumpstops??

Nvm i found the part # i guess all i had to do is read, bel-6102. But i think im going to go with a 2/3 so it doesnt matter. With the drop could i still run a stock exhaust or would i have to get a turndown? Plus will i still be able to haul stuff around??

You can still run a stock exhaust, depending on the rollpan/bumper you have you may want to cut off roughly 6" but that would only be for cosmetic purposes. As for hauling stuff around, you shouldn't have much of a problem. I've hauled furniture, bikes, wheels/tires and had no issues whatsoever.
