Blazer tuckin 22's
I have mixed emotions on how this thing is going to look when it's done. I saw it before they put the hidious flames on it and it looked like it had some potential. I really hope the primered graphics aren't going to stay....

Damn, I guess! Tuckin twanky-twanks's with rubber bands stretched around em'. I think Loweredd could tuck 22's WITH good sidewall.

yeah i definately have mixed emotions about any low profiles and suspension drops, at least on Ol Red. tires are probably the biggest shock absorber in the vehicle, and lower profile is such a harder tire. I'm definately sticking with 15s with same height tires, just a tad wider; its a ride quality thing.
And suspension, money permitting im going for a "mild" 2/4 drop because ride quality ride quality ride quality. No air bags, too expensive and huge hassle. just drop coils and hangers for the leafs. 2/4 seems low enough for me

All that money spent on the Blazer exterior and still the interior looks unfinished. Take the $$$ for the graphics and finish the interior please!!

He has done some unusual body mods that just "might" look cool when it's done. I'm holding judgement on that till I see the finished product.... |

who the hell would ruin such beautiful trucks by dropping and tucking them like that? i would have to beat the hell out of someone if i saw they screwed up a bowtie as bad as those two pics.. these are full size american trucks, not jap crap rice burners.
my opinion? *pukes* yuk

I like the red truck! Looks good! I would also like to see more pics of the inside of the fenders! I believe you would have to modify the actual fender to tuck such a large wheel.
