Now when you say the rear is dropped 7"...is that taking into account the removal on the stock 1.25" block?
Did you change the hangers or shackles?
what are your before and after measurements?


thanks for the pics...again that looks damn good.
The rear flip kit eliminates the factory lift blocks, and I had to put my factory shackles back on, or else it would have been too low... The kit lowers it 7" from the factory height; flip kit only, no hangers or shackles. Sorry, I didnt take any measurements before or after the drop...

Thats the exact information I needed...thanks

I have talked to other members on GMFS and FSC and they all switched to doestech shocks (sp) and have been very happy with them over the MCG shocks and/or DJM shocks. Most of them were running 4/7's like yours on NNBS.

275/55/20... Im gonna get 285/50/20 later on. I really wanted 295/50's, but I think the back tires would hit the fender lip...

So you still run the stock tires...man thats good to know that they still fit with a 4/7 drop.

Hows your pinion angle look....is it gonna need any shims?

yeah, stock tires, but the front ones rub a little on the back of the fender wells at full turn..... pinion angle is good, no shims necessary....
