Is a 2.5" drop on a truck alot??

[canyouhearmatt 10+ year member]

For some reason, in my mind, 2.5" is not alot. I'm just wondering whether or not I should go through all the trouble to lower it if I'm not going to notice a big difference....So, will 2.5" look low, and this is for the people that have lowered there trucks...?

What kind of truck? stock wheels and tires? 2.5" would be noticeable and would reduce fenderwell gap.

you doing front and rear?? you will notice a difference but not like the guys doing 5/6 static drops or lower

full size truck?

typically a 3" to 4" drop in the rear will level out a 2WD full size truck. I have a 3"front/4"rear drop on my S10 and I'm happy, but I want to eventually go another 2" in the back making it a 3"/6".

you might want to try a 2.5" front, 5" rear. should level out most full size pick ups

The guy said we can put blocks on the back and get some kind of keys and turn the tortion bar in the front down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

so your assistance was to get a 2wd???

I have seen it done..but I wouldn't bother personally.

 

[jagblazer01 10+ year member]

its not hard to lower 4wd...i have an 01 blazer 4x4 and was looking into it at one point. Its very easy. the 2/3 drop kit from Belltech is a bolt on application and if you have tools and a couple hours you can do it yourself

And that you're a fucking moron.

That's more stupid than raising a 2WD truck.

no, not too hard, theres a bagged AWD Syclone.. anything can be done.

you will get about 2"-3" drop in the front from the torsion keys, then you might want to put 3" or 4" blocks in the back. make sure you cut off the bump-stop bracket if you go with 4" blocks. this route would be the least expensive.

or you could get 3" lowering leafs for the rear, then add blocks to lower more if needed, the leafs will run you about $160 for a set, then you will have to buy drop shocks.

but if you just do blocks, you dont have to buy drop shocks.
