I can't handle it...my '72 jimmy needs to go lower.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took my Jimmy out this afternoon for a spin and was thinking it needs to be a little lower. It's a factory 2wd, so it won't be a problem to do.
My '71 burb has air ride and works/rides good but I think I want to static drop the Jimmy.
what seems to be the best route for a good 4/6 static drop?
Bell tech, Mcgougheys,ECE...?
Thanks for the help guys!

I have used ECE on my trucks. Great parts, great customer service and decent prices.

3.5/6 may be what you are after...

Here are some stance photos to help you:

I'm going 2.5/4 on my 72 2wd blazer.

I use ECE as well. Never tried anything else. No need.

Yes, ECE is really good. Although I added ECE's rear airbag setup because with static springs you will get different ride heights with top on and top off, not to mention the weight of passengers or cargo in the back. Just a thought.
