well heres what ive been doing. the weather has been nice, and i havent been working as many hours as i have wanted, so i figured i get to it. pics are worth a thousand words. still not sure if i really wana do a "build thread" or just post up randomly when i get stuff done. id rather just surprise you with random progress:p: . the 3" body lift is coming off and the engery poly bushings should be here tomorrow or so here it is...

Are those lifted 52's for the front? If so, what size spring and do you have any installed height pics?
 
Nice! whats the reason for not mounting the b-52s all the way forward?

i was going to, but i thought that it would mess up the body mount and effect the line up of the core support with the fenders? i wasnt sure since i dont have the rest of the front on to tell. ill move them now:D i want my axle as far forward as possible

i agree washing it first woulda been best, but we were in a rush to get the front 6" springs out to get on protechk5's truck. but we never actually put them on his truck:doah: with the front springs gone, i wasnt able to move it to wash it:doah: :doah:

yes, they are TC 4" lifted 52's. i really want about 7" lift, so im debating about removing the overload. im still undecided since this is a diesel rig, and it will eventually be getting a tube bumper and possibly a winch. im hoping to get some pics of install height and everything within the next day or two (when i get a chance to get the rear spring hanger bolted up.
 
Since you're building a long bed truck, can we call you MuddinManny now?

they flex good? i hope so haha. i guess ill find out soon enough. my steering should be here beginning of next week, so i wont be able to do any flexing until then:doah:
 
well hopefully with the added weight up front they will flex nicely. im still debating about taking out the overload.

Never actually flexed out the rears too much but I can tell you that once broken in (like mine) they ride very nicely for a solid spring lift. I like them and am very happy with them. Beats the crap out of the original springs and 4" blocks that were in there before.

I still run my overload. I don't even know if I really need it for what I use the truck for. Which is mostly DD duty with the occasional light loads in the bed. Had the bed filled with mulch which was about 1.5 yards (I think) and didn't make the springs compress much at all. But I can make the rear of the truck bounce by jumping on the bumper. Which I couldn't do before the springs.

I love em, I recomend them :waytogo:
 
not sure bout the blazer yet. its going back to 1/2ton's with 4-6" lift and 35's. it was my first truck and i love it and want to keep it, but ill have to see how things go.

im going to start ordering the stuff for my rear soon as well once the front is done :)
