ok! hows everyone doing?so bout a month ago i traded my 67 ford f100 for a 87 k5.stock,on 32s.so yesterday i installed the front 4'lift in my driveway.went awesome till began to pour! so im waitng for neighbors to wake up(sun come up is all!)and im on the rear.i dont know how to upload pix to this site for some reason? id love to show it off! its got a 350 w fuel inj. im in cali,and its from utah.cali plates tomorrow at 915!passed smog with flying colors to! im stokd.all ready took it wheeling at cow mtn in ukiah ca... it did good considering didnt get all crazy! hahaha anyays,im gonna keep trying to put some pix with this.hopefully by end of day to show yal the lift.
 
i guess im an idiot.i can't figure this out!!!! anyone feel up to explaining what im doing or not doing to post some pix?
 
You need to have I think 5 posts or become a member to post some pics. I would definitely recommend spending the 25 bucks to become a member, this site has so much knowledge for these trucks its ridiculous. Try linking to photobucket or another pic hosting website also. Good luck with it and welcome!
 
The membership is totally worth the knowledge and help you get from this website. You don't need it, but like others, I went ahead and put my money in the pot just to say thanks. I've gotten welding help from a fellow member and scored a cheap dana 60, not to mention the wealth of info and time/money saved from reading.

Like Brian said, photobucket is easy, or if you get a membership, you can load straight from your computer. Welcome and enjoy the rain. I'm sure you're NOT doing anything on the blazer like I am :doah:
 
thank you fellas! i had a break in weather and i pulled my skirt up(or maybe its down?lol) & went out with long johns and got r done! so happy to! the kids and i have been mashin around in it! thanx for the welcome! i will spend the $!! forget photo bucket if i can!
 
I like photobucket. Works great. Now get us some pics!!!:D

[/IMG][/IMG] here is how i got it. gota figure out how to do multiple pix now!
 
thanx man! needs some things,but i do plan on wheelin it-dents will happen right?!lolnext is front seal behind the balancer,and a grill.
 
Thanx fellas! I really like ur rides too! Anyone else here use rough country lift? I think i hear the shocks thump as the suspension comes back down from a good bump.everythings tight,so ima replace shocks up front&see if im right.any suggestions of a good shock?4"lift?
 
thanx man! ill look into that rt now. just wanted to mention i broke the front drive line at the differential!hahaha was messin around at work on this cement and dirt pile.its about 4ft tall and i just wanted to climb with the front.it was doing it untill it started to hop so i punched it and KERPOW! broke the ear off the slip joint.easy fix.but is this common?
 
I installed Skyjacker Nitro 8000 shocks for the price factor. I am satisfied with them. I will do Bilsteins eventually as well.
 
so im heading down to wrecking yard real quick to see if i can get this yoke.anyone else have them break? like maybe i should get 2?lol
 
For some reason, the only parts I've ever really broken have been related to front drive lines. Don't think I ever specifically broke an ear though. But, under the conditions you describe, seems pretty reasonable. I like that tan and red two-tone. ;)
