Very nice, thanks for that

Is this the stance that your truck will have? Do you know suspension & tire/wheel details on this truck?

It's a goal--we'll see where I land. I can go about an inch lower than where I am currently front and rear without too much effort. After that, you start getting into hood hinges and step notches. That's not to say it won't happen, but I'm not planning on going crazy (just yet). I'd like to tuck all of the tire, just to the top of the rim and visually center the wheels in the arches--like the pshop below:

He's on 20x12 and 19x9, Scotts front, unsure rear, unsure on tires. I'm sticking with my 295/40/20 and 255/40/20 for the foreseeable future.

I like the stance of your truck and this one. They're low but you can drive them almost anywhere.

Especially with the extra ground clearance provided by the DM! Hopefully I can get it to sit how I want...

We're north of town, near the AFB. Might see you cruising around...

Yeah, one year I hope to get started on my Blazer. I'll be using the "vintage" C4 dropmember that I have with air. I hope it will handle as well as coilovers. It uses Shockwaves in the front which may help that.

Do they even make those anymore? ;) :lol: Always liked your Blazer concept--ready for some progress posts

The last time I talked to Nate he said he "could" still make them but it wasn't in the line anymore.
The only progress that has been made is the 2WD frame has been shortened to fit the Blazer. :(

Hhmm..... Seems like a 'Limited Edition Dropmember' sign is warranted for those few souls. ;)

Instead of "members only" would it be "only member"? :lol:

Went on a quick parts store run, stumbled upon a car show with a swap meet. Kindigit was there with a sweet caddy. Browsing the parts aisles, a high hump caught my eye--he said make an offer, I gave him all the cash in my wallet.... $11! :metal:

Haha- this kind of thing rarely happens for me. I expected him to laugh when I offered. I think I thanked him like 5 times :lol:

Remains to be seen whether I actually will need this with the v7 DM. Engine is supposed to sit much lower than previous versions. Near stock, I'm told.

especially since those high humps go for upwards of $200!! (That is given the right time, place, and color)
