Slamming a Jimmy as cheap as possible

that have your type rear suspension. I would get the kit that generally lowers the back end the same amount as the front is lowered. ----------------------- To lower the front, the 4wd already has camber adjusters built in, and the 2wd uses shims to adjust camber as well as castor. Your vehicle is easier to adjust than Front wheel drives in that respect. ------------------------ I would carefully measure the front suspension and lower it as much as the stock adjustments will allow.............considering the speed bump height of the roads you drive on, the driveways that you might bottom out on, and that high-speed pavement change on "you-know-which-road". Those things determine maximum lowness without beating up the bottom of your Jimmy. ----------------------------- For front springs, you can buy shorter springs from General Motors or cut your stock springs to the same length as the shorter GM springs, once again carefully measuring....... .........I seem to be the only one on TR that can carefully measure and cut springs without them flopping around, without beating up the suspension, and without eating the tires. ---------------------------------- More costly ways to set the front end down would be to buy dropped spindles, or to buy dropped lower A-Arms, and keep your stock front springs as is. A more costly way to set the back end down is to notch/fabricate some frame pieces so the rear axle can still clear the frame. -------------------------------- After you drive it awhile, we can talk about your particular driving style, and ways to tune the suspension, to increase/decrease oversteer/understeer in the turns. -Bob |
