ZR2 Lift question
Where does the front lift on the zr2's come from? I know the rear is from rear drop mouns for the leafs, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where the front lift comes from.

My ZR2 frame is boxed.
The lift comes from lowered mounting points for the suspension. The front diff/axle housing is dropped, along with the lower A arm mounting points. The A arms are longer as are the CV axles. The spindles are different. The front mounting points for the rear leafs are 3" lower. All of these suspension modifications would lift the truck up about 1.5-2" if the truck was sitting on the rotors... but the lift allows larger tires for a total of 3-4" of lift.
