My buddy wants me to find him the parts to lower his '72 Chevy 2WD Blazer (Front disc/Rear drum). He was thinking 4"-6" or 5"-7" static drop, springs, spindles, c-notch? Anybody know what parts are needed and specifically who carries them for a decent price?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I have a couple ideas where to start looking, just haven't called yet: www.performancesuspension.com www.sporttruckdirect.com Thanks

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
Call Wes at ClassicHeartbeat.com. He's in Olympia. Then, tell you're buddy to join the forums and post some pictures of his blazer.
Where in WA are you?

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
I am going with a 2.5" front spindle drop and a 4" spring drop on the rear of my 2wd Blazer.
Front Stock Springs/Shocks Rear Drop Shocks/Springs Shock Relocators Adjustable Panhard Bar All the stuff is from ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) - www.earlyclassic.com But Bouncy hit the nail on the head - find the closest distributor to save on shipping $. |

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
Thanks for the replies. I was looking at some stance pics on those websites, and came across a pic of a 2WD Blazer with a 3 1/2"/6" Drop and that looked about perfect. If he does a 6" drop in the rear does that require a c-notch kit?

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
Panhard bar keeps the rearend centered. I drove a truck once without one and it took curves like a drunk sailor...
By the way, the 69-72 2wd blazer suspension is exactly the same as the 67-72 truck suspension (trailing arm setup...) Rg

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
I'll say this, the 4" springs I just put on lks dcvn 2wd Blazer went at least 5" maybe 6" as they are "truck springs" and the blazer has that 3-400 lbs on it. I'd really go with a 5" spring, to be safe??

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
You guys have any pics of your 2WD Blazers lowered? And the drop heights?

Re: 2WD Blazer Lowering Kit?
This is my blazer before bagging it.
The front is a 5.5" drop and the rear is a 6" drop. Tire are 215/70-15's and 275/60-15's on 7" and 8" ralleys.
