So what exactly do you mean by driving better. No more white knuckle teeth grinding, sweat running down your brow driving, wandering all over the road 4wd Blazer? LOL!!!

Well, make it the three of us recieved that "RARE" option. Mine has the hydraulic trailer brake option as well. I wouldn't pull a trailer with one of these short wheelbase mothers for nothing. The trailer would be so unstable I think you'd be chasing it all over the road. I too am considering the lift thing, but I am planning a trip to my local spring shop to get either my springs rearched or new ones built, but then I need that fancy drop for the steering linkage. Does any of those companies sell parts of the lift kit? Just wondering, the lift and tires looks good. |

Nahhh, i'm a kid, all that just made me a better more atentive driver! But really, not it just feels like a caddy  Even with 33" , running over the dots/buttons on the highway out here in CA feels like nuthing... unlike any factory vehichle. Now i dont have anything to catch my attention when i start lane drifting But yea, i had the tie rods and all the ball joints and that stuff replaced. The higher stance over the road is always more nice too! So was there a trailer package for our blazers or what??? I'd say go with new springs, as my factory ones were BEAT, but that was my case, maybe yours can be rearched. but i LOVE my BDS springs tapered at the ends with the teflon pads in the ends. Rides SUPER smoooth, no harshness at all. Not sure how much BDS components you can buy online and where at. Thanks for the compliments, can't wait to see yours!

I try and stay away from re-arching. I have never done it and only speak from other friends experiences. You are still dealing with an old spring and sag appears to be inevitable. For the cost of re-arching I think you could get yourself a nice set of after market springs with the stearing arm. Add shocks and U-Bolts and you're rolling like a big dog.
