I've got a 4" lift on 35's and you seen how much trimming had to be done for clearance. The back of the front fenders will need a lot of cutting if you go 4", as well as the front.
The front of the back wheel well might need some too.
Hey, it's just extra sheet metal and weight you won't need.
:hack::grind::weld::saweet: I love it !!!
Remember, you didn't buy it to restore to original
 
I measured mine and it is 12 1/2 from top of axle tube to bottom edge of the bumb stop bracket. Where the metal and rubber touch.
 
Why hell Dean, looks as though we're all on line at the same time, I'm sure had we known you are now work'in on it, we could of lent you a hand today. Ya see,this is what I'm talk'in about.

Yeah, that's only an inch higher than my truck, but I don't have a BL on mine. All that tire sure puts the truck up there, though. Carl's 'burb is 13 1/2inches from tube to bump brkt, but he's only running 37's. That puts the body on yours 3 1/2" to 4" higher than his.:dunno: I guess looks are just deceiving.
 
Ok got these cleaned up and ready to go in, its a th400, 32 spline 205, I am in need of a shifter for this set up. Its a round pattern 86 combo, I need the shifter and the linkage.

I also think its too tall. I'm thinking of 4" with the zero rate to move the front forward and a shackle flip in the rear with the original springs and a zero rate to move the axle back to the right spot. I love the look of it, but I think for what I want to do, John Bull, calico and such its just too tall. Probably great for mud.

I would not get the diy flip with a long 6 inch shakle that's what i have and it seems to lift it a bunch more than the 4 claimed( i think with a shorter stock length shackle its 4) here is a thread i was working on with the mesurments.. i can pull it off if ya help and want to try it out.. im preaty much set on the ord or im going to cut up the diy. And get the cross tied shakle i did not and they seem to flex a bit but that might save the bushings it just looks a little weird when flexed. opinons?

And for shifter ord twin stick.. its out might aswell you wont regret it.:D
or try randy's offroad in azusa he has alot of used parts usally for sell.
 
nice work dean, keep it up. blazer bash is going to be here before you know it.:D

that 400/205 looked real nice all cleaned up.
 
Dean I'll check with my dad and myself to see if we have the shifter for the 205.

Ernie, just give Dean the one that is on your "blazer". It's not like you ever wheel said blazer. Even if you do own some beige blazer you claim to have it probably only sees 2wd. :D

yeah thats an option twin stick, I just called Randy's for the stock one and he doesn't have one. but he can get me a twin stick set up minus the rails for $300:haha: that guy gets me on his prices. he is always so much more than anyone, but worth a try for the stock deal.
 
Damn Hoby, I'm going to have to go down to OC and burn that baby blue of yours. That's it I'm done. Watch your back FOOL! Bringing Scum Valley w/me.
 
Hey Ernie, just drive throught the Home Depot and pick up a posse to take with you. I bet Hoby's whole neighborhood would clear out when a truckload of Messicans show up.:haha: If they knew what your license plate says, they'd really be scared.;)
 
What's the Plate say Ernie. Chris, we're not Newport Beach, if we were we would be leaving all the lawn care and house cleaning supplies for his posse to use. I'm the only white trash on the block that actually does his own yard works and house cleaning.
