84 4x4 blazer

Sweet looking K5 looks like its in great shape from here and well taken care of can't go wrong with that! I do love the Full size Blazers and they are so awesome with the top off. Great score keep up the good work on building it. Got any other major plans for it yet?

3/4 ton running gear, 35's and a bad ass roof rack. My "wish" is to swap in a Duramax and an Allison tranny. But that probably wont happen anytime soon, so new running gear, a 4 inch lift and the roof rack.

when doing the 3/4ton swap don't bother with anything less than a dana 44 front or you will get very good at changing front axles and u joints with even minor 4x4ing, the 208 transfer has the best gear ratio but a fairly weak chain, with 35inch tires you'll be fine, any bigger and you will want a 205 as they are gear driven and much stronger but will also require a tranny adapter plate which adcance adapters makes to keep the 700r4. For the cost you may as well do a 6inch lift as it is virtually the same and it ensures no fender trimming or accidental off camber hitting and you can run stock length driveshafts by making a drop bracket 1inch for the tranny/transfer case and eliminating any vibration. Off Road Design makes a lot of good parts if you plan on crawling with it, revolver shackles etc. Had an 85 and plan on getting another square blazer after I'm done my build, I had mine hacked all to hell and it got put through anything and everything, with the top on and off, great trucks yours looks like a great start

Thats good to know, I thought I would have to get custom length drive shafts with a 6in lift. I plan on using d44 and a FF14 bolt. Cant wait to get started

ff14 bolts are sweet, never had and issue, I did rip the housing of a 205 in half with 44's and a big block but doing burnouts with boggers is never smart, I'm in for this build for sure
