i dont know why but i decided on 3.5" z, i was originally gonna do a 3" and save the 1-1.5" xmember drop in case i still wasnt happy with the height. then as i was setting it up i said "ahh what the hell, another .5" aint gonna hurt." seems like a 3.5" z maybe somewhat of a happy medium as ive seen alot of info that confirms that 3.5" total will do the trick (2"z and 1.5"xmemberdrop) at any rate. i will keep anyone posted on updates as it comes together. also, im doing a 78 2wd blazer frame i dont know if there are any differences then truck frames. there seemed to be a slight curve inwards to the frame rails where i cut and z'd on the area i had to fish plate that noone else mentioned. maybe i cut too far forward? i didnt have the body on the frame yet so eyeballed it kinda going buy the pics on loweredd.com's website.
