how much is it dropped
« on: April 03, 2013, 05:32:11 pm »
ok fellas I just picked up an 82 2wd blazer and am confused on the drop. The back is dropped a little more than the front which will change quickly. I know it has spindles in the front, not sure if they are 2 or3". But what confuses me is the rear has shackles and shackles only and its lower than the front. Hangers are factory with the big rivets, axle is still under the leafs. Leaf pack has 3 springs but dont look like they have been altered. Any help

Sounds like a spring may have been taken out. I'm not 100% sure but i think there should be at least 4 springs there. I have taken the 1st leaf out below the main leaf before and got a 4" drop. I won't do that again though.
