I went to 4wheel part about an hour ago to get some prices on tires. I ended up buying a lift/tires/shocks/ and having it installed warranty and all.

I had a coupon for 50% off installation and the guy took an extra 30% off everything. I have known the guy for about 4 years and he hooked me up.

So, in all I got, a 4" Procomp lift(front springs/ES5000 shocks/rear blocks with all new ubolts front & back,steering arm,brake relocate brackets,),alignment, 4 35" bfg mud terrain km, mounted & balanced, new stems, lifetime warranty on labor,complete lift kit, tire warranty (replacement whether its my fault or not) and life time alignment all for $1700.00 out the door. The guy gave me a pretty decent deal and I could not pass it up.

I wanted to do everything myself, but I decided since it was a decent deal, fug it.

I am getting my Blazer back Thursday. I will post pics when I get it back.

So...what do you guys think?

Shoot I wish I had one of those shops around here and could get a deal like that. Minus the blocks in the back. Definately seams like a good price w/tires.;)

Yeah, I did the math and they gave me everything pretty much at wholesale.

The rear blocks won't be on long. i will ditch the blocks and get a flip kit in the future. My next step after this is to regear with 456's and buy longer brake lines.

DAMMIT!!!!!

Just kidding. I appreciate the offer:D I don't drink alcohol, but I would of got you alot of beers:D

Mabe you can help me do the shackle flip:)

I am pretty happy with the deal I got.

I have never had procomp stuff, except for their tires(which I think are BFG anyway). I am hoping those springs flex ok.

One thing that is funny, when I mentioned the words "Rough Country", everyone started talking crap about them. I have had Rough Country stuff and it's pretty decent for the price. I began to back up Rough Country by letting those guys know I have owned Rough Country products and beat them to crap and kept on going.

Only reason I went Procomp was because that's the best deal they could do. Which is fine with me as I have had plenty of friends who swear by Procomp and have never had problems with their stuff. After all, it's just springs and shocks:D

Can't complain about the price! Can't wait to see the pics either!
 
You might hate the ride and flex of those springs. IIRC the Pro-Comp 4" fronts are about 620 lbs/inch (stock 52" rears are about 300 lbs/inch for comparison.)

I had a pair of 4" pro comps on my blazer and they were pretty damn stiff. I had them on there for about 4 years, I thought they would eventually soften up after a while but they didnt. Needless to say after going 52"s in my blazer I switched those same procomp springs designed for the blazer over to my 4x4 crew cab with a 454, the ride in there is alot better since the weight of the truck is so much more but they are still kind of stiff.

The spring rate chart says 520:confused:
 
I've got a ProComp 6" lift. The reason why they could get you the best price with that brand is I think it is 4wheelparts brand, they own it.

They are stiff, but most lift springs are I gues. Mine flex fine.

WOW! My old stomping ground! I grew up in Kearny Mesa; across the freeway from Sharps Hospital.
I'll be down there in March visiting. Maybe we can all hook up and do an Anza Borrego run.
