This site is the best, Thought I would share my rig with you guys

The first 2 pics are 37s on a 8" lift, then I went down to 35s on a 6" lift, and now it sits at 33s with a 5" lift.

WELCOME ALBSURE, this is a fantastic site for information, parts and great people. Glad you found it!!

Like the rig for sure, do not know how long you have had it, but I get the impression not that long. I like you have already started a BIG project!!

Good luck and keep the pictures coming. Nick

Great looking - looks good at all different lift and tire sizes you posted. Which combo did/do you like the best?

YBNORML · 01-09-2014, 06:14 PM

Nice work! Looks very clean.

swyfor5 · 01-09-2014, 08:45 PM

Welcome to the board! More info please, looks real good!

AlBsure · 01-09-2014, 09:48 PM

Thanks for the compliments. I've owned this truck for 3years..I would say the best look is the 5" on 33s. The reason I say that is because I'm a short guy and it's easy for me to get in and out of. Another benefit is the performance, best way I can describe it is it seemed lighter and quicker. The truck sits in primer, I have yet to finish the bodywork on the hood, tailgate, and doors, what color should I go? Thinking of doing a light blue, something along the lines of baby blue. I'm having trouble uploading pics from my phone I will post more as soon as I figure it out.

Break Down:
406ci sbc
Th350 w/Hughes torque converter
373 gears with auburn pozi front and back
Wheels are Weld Stone crushers 15/12
Tires are super swamper tsl/sx 33/15.5/15
Stay tuned.

Real nice truck, thanks for sharing, I like it best with the 37's but I am crazy just went from 38.5's to 40's on my truck, but then again I have a hard enough time getting in and am 6ft. being short wouldn't help. There are steps available. Light blue may be a real nice color for it. Cool rims. Keep posting 4x4's are my fav.

I've had a few people say they like it best with the 37s. You have a nice rig too buddy. I stopped by your profile and seen some pics. The white truck is nice.

AlBsure · 01-11-2014, 02:56 AM

I posted some more pics, I put them in the blazer build forum just look for the same title.
thanks.

Nice lookin truck before and after. The 33s look too small to Me though. I'm running 5 inch lift and 35x12.5 on mine and think its Perfect. 37s are pushing it on stock axles. I broke two rears On 35s so went 3/4 ton and now haven't had a problem except breaking a Detroit In the rear. I went with true blue color On mine which is just Slightly darker than the stock baby Blue color or Sky blue color it Was stock.

Where can I find a picture of it.. I want to buy my paint next week but I'm not too sure of the color yet. I like the light blue of the 67 c10 you see on the main page of this site and a blue called Grabber Blue. I also like Hugger Orange.

Chulisohombre · 01-11-2014, 09:11 AM

It's in between baby blue and the color yours is in the first pics. Let me look and see if I can post something here.
