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

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>I have another
question: As a "late-bloomer" to the SyTy World, I'm trying to determine
whether or not the <STRONG>LOWERING BLOCKS</STRONG> on my 2nd hand Syclone
(#773) are <STRONG>stock</STRONG> 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?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Palatino Linotype" color=#000080 size=4>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.</FONT></DIV>
