I figure I'll use Belltec's lowering kit.  Does anybody know if McGaughy's kit is better?

I like McGaughy's for the made in the USA factor and I believe that you can get them from Capt's store.

No McGaughy's for me right now.  My supplier was spotty at best so I dropped them.

slammed79,

How did you reroute the gas fill hose?  I'm lowering with shackles and will have to do this.  I was just thinking I would make a few trips to the auto Parts store and find a curvy radiator hose and cut to fit.

Radiator hose will not hold up long for gas. I'd get some bulk filler hose from napa and do your best. I haven't gotten to drop a blazer yet, as I haven't found one I liked or could afford yet. I'm still looking for a cheap builder, but its been time consuming to say the least.
