4 wheel drive

how hard and what would have to be done to lower a 4 wheel drive jimmy? sorry if this is a repost but i went through and couldnt find an answer

thanks

It can be done. I've seen a GMC Sonoma ex cab 4wd bagged, It was red and I saw itcouple years ago in truckin mag. It is gonna depend on how low you want to go.As long as your not going to body drop it and have cleance for everything. I also know that the front drive-shaft is gonna be a big problem with clearance. Unfortinatly that's all the info I can give on that. I always liked the idea.

you can lay out, if you wanna get rid of the 4wd. If you wanna keep it functional, then your CV's will bind decently early. You can get new front shafts made with some badass 85* cv's from someplace like the driveshaft shop, but expect around 500 for the pair.

I am not that far from you and in 2 weeks, I have a 4wd blazer coming to get bagged on 20's. It wont lay out up front, due to the owner not wanting to spend all the extra $$ right now to make it, but the rear will and it will give you an idea of how to do the front. On this, we're not keeping the front cv axles.

where at are you? and also i dont care about the 4 wheel drive at all. but if can be done wit it i wanna figure out how

thanks

not tryin to steal this thread but P can you tell me how to bag the front of my bravada too, without the cv's? ive been looking a\everywhere. is there a site i can go to for a thread?

you can check out random bagging posts on www.blazinlow.com there are a few guys on there with 4wd's that they used the inner (or outter, i forget) piece of their front cv's cause it holds the bearings in and the hub on, but they dont have the actual shaft there anymore.

from there you use a torsion bracket kit, relocate the shocks.. if you want to lay out, i think you have to go with custom tubular uppers and moving the mounting point.. this i'm not 100% sure about, i'm skimming the site myself.. luckly the blazer i'm doing, isnt laying out just yet up front, so i have time to really dig and figure the best way

thanks man!
