3/4 or 4/5

[sdime101]

I have a 1995 ext. cab s10 with 20 inch wheels. I was wondering if it is possible to do a 4/5 inch drop? or would 3/4 be better?

4/5 will be fine as long as you have the correct offset on the wheels and the overall diameter is same as stock, but that's tough with 20's. You will have some slight rubbing on the inner fender wells, but you can hammer them some to lessen it. 4/5 and 3/4 cost about the same, but a 3/4 will be better if you don't want to have to mod anything. 4/5 will require cutting out rear bumpstops and adding new ones. You'll also have to take care of the inner fenders like I said earlier. Whatever drop you decide to do, use spindles and drop leaves. if you want a 4/5 go with 2" coils and 2" 2-degree angled blocks, Belltech #6102, and you need another 3 degrees of shim from jagsthatrun.com, $23 + shipping. This will give you a total of 5 degrees. For the 4" rear drop, you could use the angled blocks and a 2 degree shim kit from JTR. Shims are extremely important in keeping the driveline straight, reducing vibrations, and saving your ujoints

Is that wrong or am I crazy?

Well, yes and no. I worded that badly, but it's mostly right. I said right before that to use spindles and leaves regardless to get him to a 2/3 to start with. Then i said add 2" coils and 2" angled blocks for the 4/5, and blocks with 2 degree shims(incorrect part) for the 3/4 (obviously a 1" flat block-i just didn't say that explicitly). just read it again. it makes sense.

From my previous post: "Whatever drop you decide to do, use spindles and drop leaves. if you want a 4/5 go with 2" coils and 2" 2-degree angled blocks, Belltech #6102, and you need another 3 degrees of shim from jagsthatrun.com, $23 + shipping. This will give you a total of 5 degrees. For the 4" rear drop, you could use blocks and a 2 degree shim kit from JTR.

The correction needs to be that the 4" rear drop will require a 1"flat block and a 4 degree JTR shim kit.

Thanks oweezy9

Ah I got you. I was a bit confused, could have done some more reading on that I guess.

Dig a pit, take the axles off, and rest the frame IN the ground... (j/k) :p

I see my mistake, so no grammer lesson is not needed (enough of that at school)

i went 3/4 and my driver side tires rubs, but i believe thats due to it being in an accident before i got it, and someone didnt know how to put a fender on properly. its gettin replaced anyway. some kid at my school hit me. :mad:

School parking lots are the worst. I got hit twice last year but fortunately I was in the tahoe.
