Re: Project: Blank Slate
So Nate what is your total drop on the Front and Back now?
Sorry I didn't read the whole thread so not sure, but did you use drop spindles or drop springs only? Also you are not running a power booster on your master cylinder is that correct? Where did you get your Prop Valve? Thanks, and sorry if this has been mentioned before as I just skipped to the last page. -Scott-

Re: Project: Blank Slate
4.5/6 drop. All ECE stuff. 2.5" drop spindles, 2/6 drop springs, Super Track Bar, KYB shocks, ECE shock relocators, with a manual disc/drum Master Cylinder. (No booster)
ECE 6-lug rotors, calipers, etc. One stop shopping for a complete 4.5/6 lowering kit.

Do you think one of you guys could get me the dimensions on those shocks (fully compressed; fully extended). N2Billet & I are trying to determine how well they'll work on a bagged ride.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I'm running these on my bagged Blazer. If you use your stock mount they will just barely hit bottom. I went with a raised upper mount. Gave about an 1-1.25in before bottom. Plenty of travel at ride.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
SCOTI,...
I tried to go to KYB's website and find some info,... but no luck with my slow dial up. I have ECE's KYB rear shocks on my blazer with bags. (different shock set up on the front with my SD tubular a-arms) Nates are on his truck already. I'll keep looking,...

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Keith/SCOTI, I just tried to cross reference the part numbers with KYB's website, but they don't have the dimensions of the shocks.
I'm not sure if a call to KYB would benefit things or not.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Okay so I have a question for you then. Since I only have 3" drop springs for the rear I bought from GMCPauls do you think he would exchange them for 5-6" drop springs?
I know you got your parts from ECE but wondering if anyone has any dealing with GMCPauls on returns or exchanges? And btw how come you didn't use a power booster with your setup? I bought mine (chrome) off ebay and plan on using it with my 4 barrel intake and Holley 390-cfm carb. Are you staying stock on your 250? And how does your truck ride since the lowering process? Thanks for all the answers as all I can do is dream about mine since it's still in the body shop. ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Scott,
I decided not to run a booster because I wanted to keep it looking as stock as possible under the hood. Yeah I know the M/C and proportioning valve aren't original but to most people they don't have a clue. ![]() I am going to stick with the 250, much to the demise of several people. For some reason I live the motor and you just don't see them. After I lowered the truck it rides like a dream. I was actually a little concerned the ride would be to harsh, but it's like floating on a cloud, no joke! Keep the questions coming... ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Anyone have ECE website?
Can't seem to find it anyplace. Thanks in advance. Looks like GMCPauls only have 5" rear drop springs so I need to sell my 3" drop springs because drop blocks change the pinion angle.

Scoti/Keith, I bet if you called Mark or Stan @ ECE they would be happy to give you the measurements.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Hey Charlie,...what about the rear shocks?
My rear shocks are a different KYB part number. (344067) ECE must be using a different shock for the rear, now.
