87 gmc build thread

LOL I was lil broken letting those go but I must say they look real good under your blazer.
 
LOL i was just looking at those in the FS section cause i want some! lol need a 14sf first before i go that big. again much ups on your truck, its awesome.
 
had to park the truck for a while and get my **** straight, but now its back! now shes got 4.56s and a detroit in the rear. cut the fenders and tinted the windows too.

SAWEEEEET! im hopefully gonna be picking up my 14 456 and detroited here pretty quickly, im jealous.
 
our build stories are almost exactally the same lol. i bought a completely stock 87 blazer last year when i was 17. i didnt like the 2 tone blue paint at first, but it grew on me and now i love it. drove it all summer till i sold my car and had enough saved to lift it. over the winter i put a total of 10" lift on it with 38.5 boggers. its still an on going project, between new axles, shackle flip and longer shackles, the list goes on and on. anyway, i really like the truck. really clean lookin and has a nice stance. how well do those 38's fit? :eek1: its too bad we're at complete ends of the country, we could've met and wheeled sometime :D
 
I'd say just cut to fit, but I'm guessing the paint is a little too nice for that? A zero rate and 4in should clear those tires. Maybe a one inch dare I say it body lift?

I think its time for a d60 with those tires though...
 
oh my paints toast the hood is rusty along with the roof . never doin a body lift, i cut the fenders pretty much to where i want them in the front, but i still have to do the rear, i think im just gonna do the zero rates

I'd say another 2" all around would clear those 38s. Truck looks good, i like the two tone.

yea im thinkin so, 6in springs front, 2in springs in the rea! i realized with the 8* shim and the zero rates it would be a little goofy and id need to get new ubolts, but goin bigger entails getting a new driveshaft, anyone know the parts ill need to get, so i can make one?
 
what tcase and crap are you runnin? if its still the 208 you can get a 3/4 ton suburban driveshaft and cut it down to fit. 1350 ujoints and i just so happen to have one. i did it on my blazer and its pretty good, 4 inch tube i think.
