___ With 2" dropped spindles... can I use stock length shocks? ___

[Blain]

I have 2" Belltech Drop Spindles on the front of my S-10 / 4.3L truck.
By having the 2" drop spindles, can I install stock length shocks on the front?
My rear is dropped via lowering blocks, so I know I've got to use non-stock shocks there. The back end bottoms out hard. I'm pretty sure the shocks are hitting the end of their travel.

Thanks!

I couldn't imagine why I'd lower my truck... If I didn't want ground clearance, I'd drive my car... It's faster and handles better anyway.

I agree with Tyler here, that truck needs to be lifted a coupla inches and some nice big off roading tire put on!

hate to tell ya man.. but that's ugly

Alright, disregarding the discussion on the ugliness of your truck, the drop spindles with have no affect on shock heighth as the shocks bolt to the lower control arm and not the spindle. BTW, that truck looks like something out of a late 70's early 80's magazine.

Thanks for all the input.
I don't particularly care for the truck being dropped. But for $3k it was a good deal. With the 4.3 TBI engine, it moves like nobody's business.

The paint scheme I could live without. I'd like change it to all white. But I do like the visor and the scoop.

Oops... thanks for the shock talk also.
