The front coils came off my blazer as all the parts did. When I bought the blazer the coils had already been cut and I added the drop spindles. I don't have a c notch but that will go in this weekend since the rearend is sitting on the bumpstops now. I used the bottom relocaters and left the factory top shock mounts in place which I may change later. I have a adjustable trac bar also. One thing I have ran into in lowering this truck as much as I have is the driveshaft is too long now, I had to take the caps off and slide it in the yoke and then put the caps on to get it in. I am going to fix that this weekend when I move the whole rear suspension back 1 to 1.5" and that should make the tire to wheel well center a little better, I think that is something that everyone should do when lowering one of these trucks. The truck now has drop spindles and cut springs on the front with 72 suspension, master, booster and I am not running a factory porp valve and using a adjustable porp valve just on the rear brakes. The rear has new 3:73's, easton posi, 6" springs and a 1.5" block, adjustable bar, and disc brakes. I may in the near future install a stock 4.8 and a 4l60e.
