finally lowered it
It still needs work. I need to have the drive shaft shorten, looks like the rear end is shot. I can see a shape of a gear on the rear ends housing. I can also move the back tires back and forth about 1/4". I need to find a way to refasten the rear sway bar and rear helper air bags.
here is a before 31/11.5x15 with a 3 " suspension lift. 20s rear dropped some what finished As you can see the jack is holding the rear up. It sits to low suspension settled Last edited by JESSEGALLEGOS; 01-21-2007 at 11:48 AM. |

Re: finally lowered it
All your Blazer needs is a 12" lift and some 26's.
Seriously though, nice looking Blazer! It looks great and I'll bet it's a blast to drive.

Re: finally lowered it
Thanks for the input I just updated my pictures now that the suspension has settled. I don't think I can go any lower in the front without cutting the fenders. I only have about 1" or so before the front tires start to hit.

I remember that! I think it had helper bags so he could tow boats? I loved it lowered, and was disappointed to see it raised up. Good to see it down low again! Slonaker |
