OK, how many with blazers laying frame??? Or Close

Seems that is is going to be hard to get the rear low using the trailing arms and not much room for a 4 link. Thinking abougt some custom trailing arms like the air ride tech arms would help with clearence. Anyone have pics of finished product? I already have the 8" notch for the rear and the bags mounts that mount to the rearend.
Thanks

if space is a issue you could run a 2link with a pan hard bar, that would keep the 4link bars from coming up into the cab, you would still have a cnotch that can be covered over easily

You already know where I stand. I think Bagged74 is gonna be the closest to what you're looking for- his trailing arms are a pretty good way to avoid frame interference problems. Do something like that and stack as much block in there as you can...

I talked to suicide doors and he said he could build me a 20 parallel 4 link that would be 20"s long. He said it would still work good at that lenght. I will have to do some measuring and see if that will work.

I like the triangulated superlift from suicidedoors. If I were to link mine, that is the way I would go...

Re: OK, how many with blazers laying frame??? Or Close

Just picked up a 2wd Blazer to prototype a rear kit on... hoping to have it available around the first of the year... the four-link will be designed to allow the frame to lay with the appropriate sized notch (the "appropriate" sized notch will be part of the complete kit). It'll be 100% bolt-on.

Hey Nate you should check into one of those DropMenbers for your new blazer, I hear they work OK

Also I have a 70 that will be laying frame in a whole new way! No details sorry.

It will be a Dropmember poster child. Who knows when I will have time to finish it. Hopefully it won't get stuck out back with all my other trucks...

We already had replaced the front floor sections, inner and outer rocker panels (both sides), rocker boxes, lower A pillars, lower B pillars, hadn't quite finished attaching the modified SWB bedside skins, and hung some new doors. And we smoothed out the firewall.

Here's a before pic...
