1973 blazer

[chevy wrangler]

yeah i guess thanks avery

now i dont feel bad about tearing apart my truck

 

[Avery4jc]

Nah rip it apart

If you were dropping a doubler in or some other drivetrain that was really long I'd worry a little but since its still a "stock" length setup I know you'll be fine... look @ how many guys on here have blazers w/ a 6" lift... don't worry

 

[jamber2541]

hey Gus, I ran exactly the same setup when I had my 76, no problems and no vibes

Craig, I may be ditching my factory roll bar for a custom setup here soon... you interested?

OMG avatar theft is punishable by death!!!

 

[Avery4jc]

But you can never get enough cowbell....duh

 

[chevy wrangler]

well after a long day and an even longer night i just finished added the lift to the blazer after subtracting it from the truck its tall!!!!!!

well i still need to put the brakes(front)
retorque the bolts again
and then add the 35"s
and ima about to go to work at the 24hr burger PAD

Yeah you should be fine... just make sure to torque your u-bolts down to around 10 ft/lbs then drop it in 4 low and hammer it on the pavement

No, stacked blocks are bad...catastrophe waiting to happen!

[chevy wrangler]

but its like a 2"zero rate

 

[Avery4jc]

Oh wait...what the crap you were serious? OMG dude what has gotten into you? haha I thought you were joking in that last post...

Yeah I'm a fan of NO BLOCKS but if you have to run 'em keep it to ONE block and hopefully 2" or less...

 

[1978Blazerk5]

Ya NEVER stack blocks. I dont like blocks period, but i have em' under my truck but they are only 2 inch

 

[Metrodps]

I'd do it. Go for it. Price is right.

Look at the original color under the hood and inside, Gus...

LOL my original thought was a baby Craig!

 

[chevy wrangler]

but its bolted down to the leaf pack isnt that like a thick leaf spring??

after:

 

[chevy wrangler]

oh and i took out the double blocks and used an add-a-leaf

 

[Avery4jc]

You took out the 2" block and put in an add-a-leaf that gave you what...about 1/8"-1/4" more lift... so where did you get the other 1 3/4" lift in the rear from? It looks like it's sitting pretty level...

 

[chevy wrangler]

saggy butt , but cant tell too much, i think it was a 2" aal, and a 4"block

 

[chevy wrangler]

on a side note are these good for a 52" swap for the front of the k10??

those will give you about 6" of lift in the front over stock. you get around 4" with just the stock 52" springs. don't forget the other mods you'll need with the 52" swap.
