How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

Anyone have pics of a static drop around 5/7 with 20's?

Blazer tires are:
245/40-20

Do you have any pics of the blazer at ride height with either set of wheels?

You have to trim the lower a-arms.
(gind a small amount off the lower a-arm lip)

Mine has 3" drop springs and 2.5" drop spindles up front.
6" rear drop spring with a 1.5" lowering block.

Re: static drop pics

This is approximate ride height,... I can drive it lower,... but this is where the front alignment was good.

Nice now I gotta ask you after bagging the blazer and comparing that too the other two trucks do you plan to bag them also or you content with the static drop? The reason I ask is due to the tight budget im on im contemplating going back to static

Re: static drop pics

I drove my blazer static dropped for a couple years.
That gave me time to save money for the air bags and a "good" air management system.

Driving my red truck, as low as it is,... looks cool,... but you really have to watch things in the road.
The a-arms are really close to the ground.
A 4/6 drop is much more streetable.
I'd like to put a set of cheap 20's on the red truck,... but they would rub the inner fenders. (and I don't really want to remove them)

I love the adjustability of air bags.
Plus the ride is great.

My next truck project will have a Dropmember under the front.
You get the best of both worlds.
Really low ride height,... plus increased ground clearance.

They were on some 70's 4x4 blazers,... from what I've been told.
They are really hard to find.
I have a buddy that has 4 or 6 of them, but I think he's just hoarding them. Ha.
