Re: Does this look like a 5" drop?

On the rear height 3/4" difference, what you're seeing is called "Chevy Lean". The real issue is the drivers front. That side is 3/4" lower than the pass side and it kinda makes the pass rear kick up a little. Think "see saw" from one side to the other diagonally across the truck. If the drivers side front sits 3/4" lower then the pass rear will sit that same amount higher.

Belltech makes a spacer to correct it. Google Chevy Lean and you'll see a bunch of write ups on it. Every truck I've ever dropped has it. From S10s, Squares, 67-72, I have a dropped Blazer 4 door too. They all lean.

Good luck with it man. Later.

Perhaps I should double check and make sure the passenger front spring is properly seated, I swapped all four springs at the same time. If it's properly seated, I'll swap left for right and reevaluate. If that doesn't fix it I'll look at spacers. It didn't lean before I swapped the springs. I'll check it out, thanks.
