measurement's please

Would you guys with lowered blazers mind taking a quick measurement please? I just need to know how high your fender lip sits in front and rear, what drop you have and also what size tire you are running. Thanks in advance for the help

Cochino12,

Tires are 275/35/20

Front Fender lip is 26 5/8", 2 1/2" drop spindle with 2" drop springs with 3/4 of a coil cut off.

Rear lip is 27 1/4", not sure the drop, the springs are de arched and basically the spring pack is flat on the overload spring. Not much help on that end.

Thanks, that actually helps me a lot. Once again, I love that blazer I think it sits just right too.

Anybody have any measurements on the rear with a flip kit?

Re: measurement's please

yeah, man you nailed that stance. How does it ride?

...but, sorry, no measurements. I think you are just gonna have to get the taller tires and then see how much, if at all, you have to raise it Cochino.

Re: measurement's please

It rides pretty good, the front tires rub a bit on the inner fender when I turn tight but that is usally at low speed so no big deal. Other than that no complaints.

I think I might be able to get by for a few months if I raise the front another inch, got the exhaust fixed this weekend so it doesnt rub quite as bad. We'll see, I'm going to swap front springs on Tues if I have time
