Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

ok, i have a 78 2wd blz and i pulled 2 leafs. it gave me 4 inches of drop and put me on the bump stops. i took the bumpstops out and i have 2 1/2 inches before i hit frame. if a flip gives you 5 inches of drop then that would leave 1 1/2 inches. now that may be enough clearance to drive it IF the shocks have been addressed angle wise and shorter shocks (like putting front shocks in the rear) were put in...and deal with an occasional bottom out and hit to the frame. if you have nicer roads in your area then this would cause you to think you dont need a c-notch.


if you havent addressed the shock issue, there is no way it's not going to hit as your leafsprings are going to bounce so much that it will touch on big bumps. to the guy who is asking....do the flip and install some extenders with stock front shocks and you might be ok, but make sure you can do the c-notch install if you need to later, cause chances are you'll end up wanting one.
