E-bay 2wd Blazer... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bouncytruck · 02-15-2005, 01:52 PM

This auction says that it is lowered with blocks in the back. Is that possible with trailing arms? Is this a converted Blazer?

I didn't know you could put lowering blocks on trailing arms.

Lowering blocks on trailing arms are pretty common, I got 'em...

**raggedjim** · 02-15-2005, 04:26 PM

Holy cow! 4" lowering blocks??? I don't think I would do that, the arms have to be close to the road let alone below the scrub line.

The most I'd go with blocks is 2" (I have 2" blocks and 4" drop springs)

Good to know! I didn't know that lowering blocks worked on trailing arms. I've only owned 4wd Blazers (so far). That is a nice looking truck. Hopefully it goes to a good home.

AT LEAST HE'S CLOSE ON THE PRODUCTION #'S

*HE STATES THAT ONLY 1,000 EVER MADE

No way that thing has 4 inch blocks in the back. It doesnt sit any lower than mine and its stock. 4 inch blocks would put those u bolts about 2 1/2 inches from the ground.

**raggedjim** · 02-15-2005, 08:55 PM

Don't know who's truck this is but I would be wary driving it, see how low the ends of the u-bolts are? Scary... I can't imagine 4" blocks....

Blue Beard · 02-15-2005, 09:41 PM

And he's running a 6 cyl.

With the lowering blocks, looks like it's a tool for ripping out speed bumps..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-15-2005, 11:52 PM

Would not want to get a flat tire on that rig the u-bolts would be ground off along with some trailing arm..

*72CSTC5* · 02-16-2005, 10:07 AM

I saw that two about the 6 cyl. but in the description he states it has a v-8. I am watching this one. It's in Texas, I want one to drive while I finish mine.

**raggedjim** · 02-16-2005, 10:31 AM

72CSTC5, you are GREEDY!!!

jk, Rg

bouncytruck · 02-16-2005, 12:40 PM

raggedjim, I think you need to give one' of yours up - preferably to me

This is actually the second time that Blazer has been listed. Last time the descriptions listed both the 6 and 8 cyl. Good luck in your bidding 72CSTC5. Since I can't afford another one, you won't get any competition from me.

**raggedjim** · 02-16-2005, 01:05 PM

Once I get the jimmy on the road I may consider it...
