94 Blazer 4x4 and yes, I want to drop it

[BlazinX]

I drive a '94 Chevy Blazer 4x4 2dr and yes I wanna drop it. :D

BUT I have a few questions:

According to summit racing: Belltech BEL-3904 (http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=4294908216+4294908215+4294924760+4294925130+4294839061+115+4294844590) is the kit i need to drop my truck. I did some research on this kit and the belltech website says its for a 4dr only but mine is a 2dr, Is this teh correct kit?

Also I noticed I can see the frame under my truck. Im assuming this is becuz of the factory 2" body lift. Can this be removed in addition to lowering my truck with the kit mentioned above?

Thanks alot bro!


No clearance issues..I got a set of belltech shocks..

[BlazinX]

Aight, thanks to Tahoen I found the kit I need to drop my 94 Blazer 4x4 2dr.

The Belltech Kit [3905] uses Torsion Keys and Leafsprings. 3/3.5 Drop.

Is there anything I can do to get the rear to sit down sum more?

Also, Is there another brand of parts you guys could recommend that arent as pricey as the Belltech? The kit on summit racing is about $450.

Thank you.

I wanna make the rear sit level with the front.

What do you guys think about using lowering blocks in addition to teh lowering leafsprings?

Will teh universal ones do just fine?

anyone?

[emetic]

anyone?

the blocks will make it higher unless you have done a flip first, in which case you would have 6" drop and wouldn't need the blocks anyway

ima go with a belltech drop kit - 3/3.5 - torsion keys and drop leaf springs.

do i have to use the drop shocks or can i use my stock shocks?

im sure the ride would be better with the drop shocks, but im tryin to save a lil money.

:word: I still have my stock shocks and it is a "stiff" ride to say the least

[My95Chevy4x4]

i still have my ranchos on mine after i took off the lift and now have the lowering kit. the ride SUCKS

[RaiN]

You can also use the key/shackle kit if you dont want to use the rear spring. I think its a 3/2, I'm putting on the rear shackles tonight.

[BlazinX]

which shackle kit didja go with?

[RaiN]

I used a 2" drop shackle from Belltech. I think I may buy the drop leaf too and run a 3/5 drop.

[donit]

I measured my ride before I had it lowered. From the center of the rim to the bottom of the fender, measured 22.5". After the beltech keys, rear leaf springs and shackles, it measures 16.5" in the front and 17" in the rear. It's dropped more than I expected, I would like to go a lil lower if I could without bags.

Part number BEL-6700 right?

Thats what I'm goin to do also, except I have the drop leafs and I just need the shackles. w00t!

[RaiN]

yeppers, I think thats them.

I bought a spare set of rear leafs today, gonna re-arch them tomorrow.

[BlazinX]

Lemme know how the re-arching goes.

[RaiN]

De-Arching went well. Took about 20 minutes for the pair. I should have them installed by this Saturday, I'll snap some pics asap.

[BlazinX]

didja get them installed yet? (pics)
