Can you get a 6 inch drop using 4 inch drop springs?
 

If I use 2 inch blocks also can this be done. I already have 4 inch drop springs and I don't want to buy 6 inch ones.

Also Du%%a$$ question of the day, but if I get shock relocators than my stock shocks should work, correct?

thanks,

Yes your stock shocks will work. but I wouldn't go lower than 4" drop springs in the rear without c-notch.

I just pm'd you bagged

You can easily go 6 inches in the rear without a notch and it will never hit unless you carry the Titanic in your bed. Every guy on this board with an ECE rear drop kit will back me up on this. I've had plenty of experience with 6 inch rear drops.

I did an ECE 5" rear drop on a big block long bed with just springs and shocks. Just for grins when I was done I loaded my 850 lb John Deere 42" lawn tractor in the bed and hooked up a double axle, bumper hitch trailer with about 1,000 lbs of fencing materials. I wasn't even close to having a problem and it rode great.

Don't truck and burb/blazer frames have a differnt "kick up" in the back of the frame? If I remember correctly truck frames "kick up" higher and blazer/burb frames are flatter. I know with 5" ECE springs on the back of my '72 burb it would bottom out when I hit a hard bump. Not trying to start anything, maybe hopefully just trying to shed some light on the usual "do I need a notch or not" arguement...I don't doubt on a truck you could go 6" spring and not have a problem, but on a blazer/burb it would be...

Txfirefighter, Can I get 6 inches with a 4 inch drops using 2 inch blocks?

thanks

Sorry Txfirefighter- you answered my ? in another thread.

Even with a notch the titanic might be a bit excessive :cool:

the titanic is too long anyway, you wont get it all inside the bed

And I half way expected to see a photoshop of the titanic in a bed by now. I'm kinda disapointed....

I have Eibach 4in coils and had a 1in block. If i had 2 peolpe in it and hit a good bump it would bottom out even w/stops removed. Maybe they are a softer spring? I now have a 2in block and c-notched and the shocks relocated and it rides sweet.

Mine for sure bottomed out but maybe the springs are stronger now. The eibachs are from about 7 years ago.

Just my .02
