Re: New Blazer 1972 - Got Questions ;-)
Yea, I understand the difference between lifts, but not usually 1" difference and usually on the high side so the lift can "settle in"....gotta let the springs breath a little ;-)
OK....so I'm a newbie.....sheesh....
I go to Wyoming....guy had to go to work so he left the axles on the side of the road, no biggie....it's Wyoming....nobody there to steal them ya know.
So I load them up (with a buddy of mine and we needed two more of us and a monkey to make the job easy....whew those are heavy)
Anyway.....I get them to the 4x4 shop today and I've got one Dana 60 (front) and a 14"....and I "bought" 2 Dana 60's.
I hate being a pilgrum....I have no idea what one looks compared to the other....they coulda sold me any axles....I don't know the difference by looking.
So.....change of plans.....
Dana 60 in the front.....14" in the back.....matched pair ;-)
Still looking at a 4" lift and 35's....and if that ain't enough I can put a 1" block under 'em if I need to....but I prefer not to.
I just don't really want to put it on a 6" lift....I'd prefer to keep it a little lower for that center of gravity thing.....mountains, side hills.....long drops......stuff like that bothers me.
If I can't fit 35's I'll go to 33's before I lift it highter.
I've got some 35's on my Ford that I can put on there and drive for awhile to see how it works......and go from there.
And....still being convinced that I gotta go throttle body.
So....now ..... is it throttle body or TPI (which I just learned tonight means Throttle Port Injection)..... I need to buy a vowel or people gotta start talking in full sentences ;-)
