That was for the post where guy said any lower in rear it would look lower then front. The kit is adjustable 2 to 3 in front so that's why I include the rear spacer. My main concern is ride quality which this kit does a great job at

The guy who said that is the guy you're talking to in this post

Love the way it looks, really like that color clean and simple.

But I'm still a little confused as to why you didn't get more drop in the rear if you are using his 6" springs with no spacer. I had the same springs and was sitting at 32.25" before I cut them on my 04. After I cut them I was at 31.5"

There are variances on springs from oem and top spring mounts on the axle. like on trailblazers some were welded up higehr than others.

Main thing to watch out for is the top of the panhard bar clearance until it hits the bottom of the upper crossmember

I can understand that every truck is different from factory and that every truck settles different over time. I can also understand that maybe his stock springs had sagged a little over time and that's why he didn't get a full 6" drop. But I can't see that all that adding up to a difference of more then a 1.5" without spacers.

Anyways truck still looks good! Lol

Thanks. And idk. Everyone's is a little different I suppose. After you cut them, how well do they stay in place? I got the front sitting within 3/16" side to side but the back is 5/8"off side to side. I don't mind it being a little off but 5/8" is a lot. That was at full tank. It's at 1/2 tank now and it's still 5/8" of and fronts still within 3/16". But I'm fine with being 33" especially with my wife driving it. Don't have to worry about anything rubbing.

And the wheels are oem 2015's with the stock 275/55/20's.

springs stayed in place just like normal, no problems there. My front sat exactly at 31" both sides and my rear only differed about 3/16" and this was all on 285/45/22 tires.

Damn that looks great. Did you put the cut part at the top or bottom? How much did you cut?
