Well it's been a long time since I posted anything because I have not made any significant changes until lately. I have been having problems with the Goodyear Humvee take off I have been using. I only get about 2 or 3 trips on a tire before the sidewall is chunks so bad I don't feel safe driving on the street, so I ponied up and bought a set of 39.5" bias Iroks. Tires so far are great!

The other problem I have been having is I keep bending the rear chevy 64" springs due to no bumps stops and I think the blazer is just too heavy. I called Off Road Design and asked about a custom set from them. I have a set from them on the front and they are the best I have ever used. But the price was crazy high.

What I found was a set of lift springs from Pro Comp. part number 13711. They gave a good amount of lift, sorry I don't know exactly how much because I rebuilt the rear hanger location. Flex is just as good as the stock leafs and with more arch I raised the rear hanger so it doesn't hit like before.

The other side is completely flat. The old springs would have been negative at this point.

The wheels came from a guy back east. I paid $38 each for the 24 bolt beadlocks!
