Lowering a 89 S10Blazer 4x4

I want to drop my blazer down 2-4 inches..

I know to use lowering blocks in the back but, how do you lower the front down??

I was thinking maybe with shock size? sence it doesnt have springs..

any help would be great

You will have to remove the front torsion bar key bolts.

Thats it? How much will it drop the frond end?

Do I need smaller shocks?
Do I have to replace the Keys with anything?
BumpStops?
Removing the Keys..Will it hurt the driving?

Sorry, Im green to this type of job and I just wana make sure i dont screw someting up...

I was told I didnt need the block...I could just remove a leaf and it would drop it 3"s in the back...

It will drop the front end 2-3 inches just back the torsion bolts all the way out.

I never stating anything about removing keys.

Your front bumpstops might need to be trimmed.

No, don't remove any leafs, use drop blocks and do the job properly.

no problem, BTW, you will have to do an alignment on the front end after dropping it.

Make sure you do this.

It will take a couple days or so of driving from the front end to completely drop as it settles in place.

Keep the ball joint and everything suspension realted greased every 3000miles seeing the drop will put pressure on the balljoints.
