My son has a 01 Xtreme Blazer (with stock 4.3) and I have my 85 Blazer with the 350. My suspension is entirely stock. He\'d like to lower his a little and I want to get mine to handle like his. Did all Extremes come with the ZQ8 package? I ask this because it appears the Xtreme PU\'s sit slightly lower than the Xtreme Blazers. I\'m thinking of getting new spindles for him and using his Xtreme spindles on mine. When compared to my stock spindles, it sounds like the ZQ8 spindles are a 2\" drop. Is this correct? No spring swapout planned. Would I be missing out in seeing a noticeable difference by not changing out the springs on mine? What does the rear ZQ8 package consist of? Right now I\'m running airshocks. I assume that these would have to go. I was planning on adding a rear sway bar and 3\" blocks.
