That is sweet. I hate to see a 1st gen cut up, but that is an exception.

yea me too, that was my biggest problem with my Gen1...but i just couldn't go with trimming the fenders, they're just too beautiful...which is why i decided to narrow my fenders

looking good as always Lucas...about how many inches of lift are you hoping to get?

I have no idea, because of all the different hieght changes like moving the fenders up, custom spring perches, 63" 1/2 ton springs, shackle flip, revolver shackles, moving the spring hangers. After all of this it's impossible to figure out a amount of lift in inches. But I flexed it and I have just enough for the 42's to not hit my fenders.

yea that's kinda the answer i thought you were going to give...just thought i'd give it a try since i'll be running a similar set up but a ORD shackle flip

How much did you take out of the front?

 

[LucasJ03]

It's about 58" wide now.

Yes the cherry picker is a wonderful RTI ramp. My hood bends when the truck flexes, once I cut the outer drop curve off the hood is very flexy like a sheet of metal, but it keeps its memory and goes right back when the truck unloads.

I'm liking your blazer

The front shot reminds me of the early broncos too.

Is it drive shat time now?

 

[Burt4x4]

Ahhh got it
Looks Awesome Lucas

 

[RGV72BLAZER]

still drooling over here...just wondering what the SKY bracket is doing on the front? are you using that as your front spring hanger??

 

[LucasJ03]

Driving soon

I put the rear driveshaft on today and the front will be made tomorrow. I will seamseal and prime the inside Sun. and it goes to LineX on Monday to get sprayed, and then it only needs fuel lines, brakes blead, and bat., and fluids and it will drive.

I am using the Sky front spring hanger from a Toyota full width kit. I thought it looked cool on my toyota so I used one on my K5 also.

Thanks for all the replys.

[steve_kibbe]

Are you going to put more cage on it?

 

[LucasJ03]

Drove it for the first time

moving on its own again. The cage is done, the 42's are big enough for now.
