Need some Jimmy lowering help!
 

After much fiasco, I finally got my 338s to fit. I have some spacers for the back and had to go 20x8s in the front and 20x9s in the back. I was trying to go 18's in front, 20's back but they did not fit.

The problem is now it is too high. I have it lowered 2 1/2 in the front and 2" in the rear, but I am going to go 2 1/1 more inches in the front and 2" in the rear for a total of 5/4 that way I will get a little rake. I though I could just order spring hangers as I already have the shackles. But everybody I talk to says that they are different for the truck and not available for the jimmy.

I know you guys with all your experience, somebody has only dropped the back 4 or 4 1/2 inches. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Artie

stock hangers and a axle flip equal about 6 inch drop. some have used newer tahoe springs in rear to lift it back up about 1.5 inches for a 4 to 5 inch drop

Just flip it and notch it and be done!

The shackles are the same for a truck or Blazer/Jimmy. The problem is the passenger side will not clear the factory filler tube. You will need to build one from exhaust tubing to mkae it clear.

the shackles are the same, the hangers aren't. he has already swapped lowering shackles
