how much drop??
« on: August 14, 2007, 06:58:17 PM »
Ok guys, I'm going to be buying some 2in lift springs for my 94 2dr Tracker.  I'm also gonna be putting some 1in spacers on top of the springs.  I already have the rear a-arm spacer, longer shocks, and strut spacers.  I'm gonna be making some front diff drop brackets but how much should i make them to lower it?  Like 2in?  Ive figured it out that I should have around 3.5 in of lift with the springs and spacers.  Im thinking that 2in drop brackets should be ok but what do you think?  Also, do i have to make all three brackets or just the front two?  That in confusing me?

Well, if you drop the front diff 2", then your CV angles should be equivalent to that of a 1.5" lifted Sidekick.

3.5-2=1.5...quite simple, isn't it!

The springs might sag a bit too, so 2" should be fine. I'm just speculating though, so don't quote me on this.

That's just what springs do as they get broken in.

Do you still think I would have room for a skid plate if i dropped it 2in?
