Re: Officially a 1 ton

Nice looking blazer. Getting ready to swap out my 44s for 60s myself. Quick question: I know you mentioned perch width on the rear 44s but did you have to do anything on the front 60?

Cool truck Drunkbus. Any reason you went with a single pipe instead of duals?

The D60 will bolt right in
Driveline shorting may be needed.

It's dual 2.5" into the muffler and then single 3" out. There isn't a lot of room under these trucks to run dual all the way back and keep everything tucked up nice and hidden.

Handles fine. A little rough riding as most lifted trucks are but I've driven it a 100 plus miles on the freeway at 70 MPH with no problems. Would probably ride even better if I swapped out the bias ply tires for some radials.

Re: Officially a 1 ton

I'm sure it would. My old 88 F-350 with 36" goodyears was a unique feeling changing lanes with bias plies.
