lower rear end

[adh383]

Hey guys--what is the best way to lower this truck at least 4 inches? Who\'s got the parts at the best deal? rear end. thanks

4\" in the rear, Id recommend some 3\" drop leafs, and 1\" block. Id go with a steel block if you have some extra cash.



Summits got stuff usually at the cheapest, and their shipping is dirt cheap.

Will this cause any issues with pinion angle?

[ZZ4Blazer]

I would check it before you do anything. Measure what it is, and what the driveshaft angle is. Write them both down.



Lower the rear, put everthing back together, and measure again.



Make sure that when you measure both times, the trucks fully loaded as it would be when driving.



Like, set the truck up on rampstands if you could and measure.

No problem. If you don\'t have an angle finder, Sears has them in their tool section.



Just shim the rear if you need to bring it back to stock specs.

What should correct angle be?

Much appreciated ZZ

Thats how factory specs are. On my 94 truck, I took measurements and angles before I did anything to it.



Motor was sitting at 4.5\" degrees down, and the rear end was at 4.5\" up. Driveshaft angle was at 3\" degrees I think.
