Lowering Blocks

Postby EL WAAAGZ » September 14th, 2011, 4:02 pm

Hey Guys

My El wagon is just about ready for roadworthy and after it im thinking of lowering it coz its got raised heavy duty leafs in the rear, if i put standard leafs in and use 2 1/2 inch lowering blocks will there be any problems that i'll encounter?

Thanks

I was thinking the same thing with my wagon, but I'm not sure if this is true or not but, Iwas told that it puts the camber out of alignment once you put lowering blocks in. I'm sure someone on here would know if it does or not. :scratch:

there is no way your camber will be out.
camber is the lean on your wheels like // \\ that's negative camber and \\ // is positive if that makes sense.
and well lowering blocks go in the the back of a car and that will not be affected by camber.
well anyway it all depends on what the person who is person is that is doing the road worthy you may get away with it or you may not.
