1987 K5 Blazer with Silverado package. I bought it stock a little over a year ago and have put on a 12" Superlift kit, 39.5/15/15 Super Swamper TrXus STS's mounted on 15x10 Eagle 589's, dual shocks all the way around (including dual stabilizers), and a custom bent exhaust with a 2.5" Y-pipe converging into a 3" high-flow cat and a Flowmaster Super 40 dumping after the rear axle through two 2.5" outlets (sounds AMAZING ). I'm workin' with the income of a 16 year old still in high school doing all the work, so I have yet to do the necessary (with this much tire IMO) crossover steering and 4.88 (or 5.13) gears. I've got some chrome diff covers I have yet to install, but I'm going to wait until I buy some diff guards from purplecranium.com. It's my daily driver, so don't make fun of my 10 bolts .

In the background is a burgundy '79 K10 that will become my future 'wheeler project once I get some surplus funds. It'll recieve 1-ton's, a 5" lift (springs in front, shackle flip in rear, zero-rates), 38's on beadlocks, and a nasty small block. All in due time...

 

[smokkey1]

heres a friend of mines old K5... 12" lift + 3"BL 1tons, 5.13's 383 pushing 400+, th400 and np205 sittin on 44" boggers.... that thing was a beast... use to trear up the mud pits at Azusa Canyon... He sold it a few years ago for 14K.....

edit... it was a 73' with a 90' front clip... aldo forgot..... detriots F+B, and cromo's shafts up front with 35pline outers... I know there's more stuff I'm forgetting.. but that thing was built to the max..

Pic after the latest additions. I had 4" all spring Pro Comp lift. Wasn't tall enough. I added 3" blocks to the rear, 1"lift shackles and 1" zero rates to the front w/ degree shims. Add it all up, & I got 6" in the front and 7" in the rear. Sits level now. Tires are 35x15.50-15 Super Swamper TSL-SX on 15x10 Centerline HT-2s. I would like to go with 38s, but I don't think I have enough, but I have thought about the 1" body lift from ORD. I may just go with 37" IROKS radials.

52" springs up front with 7.25" shackles


56" springs with homemade shackle flip in the rear. Used longer shackles.

35" BFG M/Ts on Chevy HD steels. 4"EZ Ride springs up front and 3/4" zeros, ORD shackle flip in the rear with tapered 1 1/2" zeros on stock springs.
Fender trimming was needed too. Great ride, great flex and traction.
