Spring questions

I have a 70 blazer that is not lifted and has 32 1/2 inch tires on it. The thing that i dont like is that it hangs a little in the back and i was wondering if you can just add a leaf? And if i do will i have to lengthen my drive shaft?

Re: Spring questions

With or with out the top on? (I will assume on?) This is a very
common problem with Blazer/Jimmys. I have never tried to add
a leaf but I am pretty sure that would solve it. Mine had a 4/6
lift and that cured the problem. Another option is a 1" block

Re: Spring questions

What does your front spring look like. There was an hd option for blazers front end. Makes the back look like its taking a dump.

Re: Spring questions

get an ez inch from diy4x.com or zero rate from offroaddesign.com. You shouldn't have to mess with your driveline.
