My wife's 2WD Blazer pics... - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We used 2 1/2 spindles and 3 inch springs. Actually we sandblasted and painted the Rally wheels, and when we installed them, the fronts were really too wide. The spindles widened the front track about 1/2 per side. We wound up blasting and painting a 7 inch wide rally for the front. The backs are 8 inch pickup rallys and the fronts are 7 inch van rallys.

When she gets home tonight, I'm going to have her find the reciept for the suspension parts. It's been 3 years, and I'm feeling like my memory is flaky. If the above is wrong, I'll post later tonight with the correct stuff.

Very nice! Y'all do good work! If I had the money, I'd be driving right over to Weatherford to make you an offer.

Cleanest old school Blazer I've ever seen.

Very nice blazer!! I can only dream about owning such a nice blazer. This is an example of what I want to create during the frame off resto of my truck. Too bad my upholstery skills aren't that good. You're wife really did a great job, my compliments

apstguy · 08-16-2003, 10:22 PM

That is a very nice blazer!

**swervin ervin** · 08-16-2003, 10:44 PM

Real nice. A dream machine for sure.

You should be proud, you did a real nice job all the way around! Thanks for the pics, and some of your ideas.

I got out the rpaperwork. In the front, we used a Belltech pn 3100 spindle, and a Summit G727 spring. The spindle is 3 inches and spring 2 inches. Total front drop is 5 inches, not 5 1/2.

The rear, I measured the height of the Blazer, then removed the leaf springs completely. I used two floor jacks inder the back to get it to the right stance I wanted. I remeasured then, to determine how much it needed to be dropped. Had a local spring shop rebuild and dearch them, to get rear drop. Cost 106 dollars including new shackle bushings.
