Ride height question
Does anybody know if our Blazers sat 'level' when new? Here's what I mean - I thought my Blazer was sagging in the back, so I measured from the road to the top of the wheel wells, f/r, and found the rear to be 2" lower. I installed 2" blocks in the back to level it out. Galen was over last weekend and his was 2" lower in the back as well. Is that normal?
Here's a pic of the 2 blazers, don't know if it will help much... BTW - both blazers have 31" tires. Paul

You need to measure from the ground to the bottom of the body front and rear. The wheelwells in front go higher up into the body than the rears do

Seems like all the years of blazers get the dreaded 'butt sag'
Checking for level by using the bedside as a base to start from might work better/best |

This is the reason the PO of "GQ" put on a 4/6 lift, he said it would sit a little
higher in the rear with the top off, and it does, but be level with the top on

To me the one on the right looks like the ass is sitting high now. Wait until the top comes off. It will spring up more.
