I want to drop my Blazer a little, not a whole lot. I'm thinking 2-3". So last night before going to bed, I worked this pic up real quick in PS3. If I have the time, I'll do another one tonight after work for a 3" drop. I may even do a couple at different angles.

Stock:


Roughly 2" drop:

Looks really good with the 2".  I think a 3" would look even better.  It's something about those rims that makes the drop look that much better than the LT rims like the ones I have.

I thought that those rims were the stockers for the two wheel drives. But it does look good.

Shaved the frame rails too 

I like it that low, I'm just not a fan of white walls myself.  I had 'em on my old pontiac..and that's enough for me .  About how low of a drop do you think that is?  4/5?

Here's a couple more. This time at 3.5" of drop all the way around. I think this is a winner. I could easily live with this amount of drop. BTW, the "BLAZER" on the doors, do they come off easily and are there holes behind them or are they just stuck on? What about the LS badge by the windows?

I don't want to go any lower. I'm not looking to make it a low rider and/or have it slammed. Plus I want to keep it fully functional and maintain a nice ride.

butters, I edited your post so the pictures would show up. By defualt, photobucket has the forum code written as [IMG]url[/IMG] because on many forums, capital image tags work. Next time you want to post a picture, just change the [IMG] to [img] or [image]

Theres a sticky at the top of this section with a link to some free or trial version photo editing software. paint.net and GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) are both free alternatives to Adobe Photoshop. There are also trial versions available from Adobe in case you want to try them out.
