But to answer your question.. I haven't gotten a chance to bring the front down. I put the Belltech Nitro 2 drop shocks and some lowered coils, but it actually looks like it brought it up about .25" from where it was with my stock spring with the flat coil cut. By now, I'm used to it and I kinda dig the "bulldog" look. Im thinking I will leave it til I take everything apart and bag it. Which probably isn't anytime soon.
I would say do the flip. Never too low :metal:

Here's a pic of mine from the other day..

Thanks for the info/advice. One more thing if you don't mind, do you have 2 1/2" or 3" drop spindles?
Thanks!

I was going to thrash it for a summer, take the running gear, then scrap the rest, but the thing is just so much fun! So instead, I'm working on making it a better driver before summer, installing a stereo, and finishing the exhaust.

cool i wondered about doing that chop,if the truck hadn't a been hit that might have been my next victim.I kept my car 78 cut-top-less for ten years cause it was so much fun.

Thanks, maybe one day I will actually get it lowered and ready to drive a little bit. Like we usually do, I start too many things at once-- with two or three of mine and then something for the wife to drive and couple of kids cars. It's hard to keep up with all of it.

I have had this blazer for almost six years and the most I have driven it was when I drove it 30 miles home after buying it. Engine was knocking, transmission was slipping bad and everything that could leak was leaking lol. I don't think the inside had ever seen a vacuum either.

Kind of.. Ironically and I don't know how I did it when I found my frame it happened to be painted the same color blue (or close to it) as what I rattle canned my blazer... lol..

Mine will be getting the Suicide Doors drop member installed so after the bags are installed it will lay flat..
