Sagging rear. - 1/8/2008 6:59:37 PM    94NDTA   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/22/2007 Status: offline I've noticed the rear on my blazer is sagging a bit. I have also noticed that all of my shocks are shot. I'm not looking for it to be an extreme off-road machine, but I will be using it for hunting and fishing and to get to hard to get spots. What can I do to raise the rear just a bit, and what are some good affordable shocks that will work well when driving on the highway, and when I am going off-roading. Post #: 1

Add a Leaf which also raises the rear gives a more stiffer ride... while an air ride will give you a smoother ride, but costing a lot! If you want the front higher you can do a T-bar crank, which is for 4wd blazers, 2wd have springs... cranking the t-bar makes the front end wear faster! Or you could go the bodylift route ($200ish) and life the entire blazer 2-3"  this will not affect the ride quality or cause premature front end wear. _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4x4 2dr \Almost blacked out "The greatest sadness is realizing you finally fallen for someone who used to love you."
