[Syty] Lowering Blox...

[DOlivares]

Thanx,

I'll be taking 'em out soon... soon as I can reconfigure a new axle-hook-up for that Roadmaster aux-spring deal I've had on there since 2001.

I'm lucky enough to have a showroom stock Sy with only 5K on the clock.
I concur with SyTyDave:  the blocks are NOT stock.  POP goes the weasel!
I also concur that the stock Sy is a high rider, a scosh higher in the rear than the front.

  Now,

  I have another question:  As a "late-bloomer" to the SyTy World, I'm trying to determine whether or not the LOWERING BLOCKS on my 2nd hand Syclone (#773) are stock or added by that weasel(s) who owned it before me (and backed-down the odometer better than 49k miles... among other mischief!).  Who knows for sure?

  I checked through all those assembly drawings from PAS as well as the factory GMC diagrams in their Tech-Manual, and all these sources say there should be NO BLOX there.  Moreover, after setting the front-ride-height to the requisite 28.5" the Truck definitely has a somewhat goofy stance-- like those '60s funny cars which looked like they were doing perpetual wheelies.  On some grades, the vehicle looks perfectly flat-- definitely not that dragster-rake we're all used to seeing in modern pick-ups.

  I'm getting/gotten to the age where I'm more concerned about inadequate ride-height and scraping my pipes and such on severe-angle driveways and proliferating speed-bumps.  I just wanna make sure that if I remove those Blocks I won't be screwing up the pinion angle or violating some other sacred aspect of Syclonery.
