Saggy Rear

[Derek Weeder]

Looking for input on curing my saggy rear. 73 blazer with 4 inch all spring lift. 1ton swapped with ord axle offset plates in front. Normal blazer squat in rear just looking for ideas on leveling it up. Have a set of ord zero rates i could put in but wondering if doing one of diy4x zero shackle flip and switch with 6" shackles? Diy4x says minimal lift something like 7/8 with the flip combined with longer shackles?? wondering if there would be any benefit doing a shackle flip or just throwing the zero rates and be done? Thanks

It happens to all of us as we age.

I would just put the 0 rates you already have in there. At 1 inch it should sit level and you save $222.

done a few blazers and did 1" extra rear and they loved the look after this .

Increasing the shackle length by say 2” will give you a 1” lift. The downside is that it’ll change your pinion angle which requires another fix, like degrees shims. So you’d be better off just installing zero rates.

Yeah i am already going to have to shim rear. Was just more wondering if there would be any benefit to doing a shackle flip.
