I like it. Those Cragars look classic on there.

They are only 15's. I want to go to 18's. Just checking with Cragar if they offer the 5 spoke in that size for my truck. Outside of that perhaps American Racing or Boss.

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

just got this 88 Scottsdale.
Noticed that the front is riding on the bumpstops. What's the easiest way to drop another inch or 2 and fix this ride?

Additionally, front drop was accomplished by 3" drop springs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Great looking rig, I hope to get mine pretty close to this. Yours happens to be the same color and the wheel I would have gone with.

You could do a drop spindle for a 2.5-3" drop and go with less of a drop spring or look into shaving the bumpstop down if there is room. Make sure your shocks are not bottoming out as well.

thanks man, i'm going to cut the bump stops as a temp, but just trying to get a permanent plan in place and complete before the Pigeon Forge Fall Rod Run.

Re: How about some pics of 2wd Blazers, Jimmy's & Burbs?

Why am I having such a hard time finding a 2wd Blazer? I find 4wd by the dozens. Did they not make a lot of them?

I believe only 7% of total production was 2wd.

It took me a long time to find the right one for me! I still see a bunch on Craigslist or Kijiji, depending on where you are from!
