i have a '94 GC that i just lowered around 1.5-2.0 in the front
the back now looks like i have air shocks in there, cuz it sits so high, lol

whats an easy way to lower the rear, i heard about some kind of spacers? i don't wanna make 'em, i wanna buy 'em, or have the rear leafs dearched

i want somewhere 2.5-3.0 inch drop to match the front

BTW its stock mono-leaf springs, & no rear sway bar.....yet



thanks in adavance

Recurve the leafs. A shop near me can recurve for 2 inch drop or rise for $50 per side if I take the leafs off myself. That's how I plan on doing mine when it is time. I know it's not quite 2.5 to 3 inches but it's a bolt-on with no fabrication involved. Hope this helps

regards,

Deric

i would do that, but as i had mentioned above, cuz i knew someone would say it, it has mono-leafs, meaning one strip of metal front to back, no extra leafs, thanks for the effort tho!

sweet, 2" would be the very least for me (a little rake would look kool) so its not that much to have them recurved, i wonder if it stays that way or will it come back eventully????

now my next big issue is, trying to find a shop 'round here that can do it, lol

thanks guys
