However, with that said I've never not been satisfied with the guys at Lee's Steering. They, in my opinion, are the best of the best! Phillip |

but the Extreme version now requires NO FRAME NOTCH. Plus it gets you 3" of extra ground clearance compared to a stock crossmember/a-arm set up. And the addition of rack and pinion steering. Seriously,... for guys wanting a low static drop these are the ticket. Run your stock spindles and get the coilover dropmember and go. That 3" of extra ground clearance is worth it. Especially if you are looking at "rack and pinion swaps" anyway. (the only down side is you have to run Porterbuilt tubular a-arms) But the option to go lower with drop spindles and/or bags in the future is easy. |

Well we're in DEEP!!!
Probably enjoy it like this for the moment. It drives absolutely great so if I don't plan to go lower at the moment then I don't see a reason to change. Side note, I laser the logos onto the PB Fab parts so those guys aren't far from me. If you've got a tie rod adjuster with the PB fab logo on it, it came through my shop on it's way out there. |

Okay I take that back, that's way more than I'm into this setup for!!!! Wow. I do understand how much better the PB stuff is. Just can't split with that kind of cash right now. Never realized how expensive the parts were.

I got 4300.00 without drop spindles and brakes.
I added a sway bar too. Coil over shocks definitely add o the price compared to bags. Still love your blazer. |

I searched your thread and couldn't find it; what radiator are you using? You mentioned you purchased your fans from Cooling Components. I like the combo! Thanks Mike

Re: 78 2wd Blazer - LS Swap and more..
Last time I just skimmed through this build; tonight, I read all of it! Awesome build! I took from it a tons of info to stick in my kit-bag! Would loved to have seen a detailed how-to on the cluster. Maybe I'll try that on my second pile of truck? Mike

Re: 78 2wd Blazer - LS Swap and more..
got a couple questions on your vintage air swap. Ive rebuilt all of my factory ac stuff and while very cold the airflow still leaves a lot to be desired. I did vintage in my c10 and love it but I'm curious if the vintage in the blazer makes much of a difference in the back seat area. My kids complain that its hot and they can't feel the factory ac at all..

I'm not going to say the passengers in the back seat or going to "feel" direct air blowing on them from the front. This is why all new GM full size SUV's have a separate rear air kit. However, I will say that this unit moves about 2x to 3x more air than our factory kit did. That volume does allow the cab air to get turned over much quicker. To me it would still be cool to try and install a rear air kit in the blazer. To that accord we're going to be installing the extra optional upper door weather stripping in our truck to further help seal up the cab. The more you can seal this thing up the better the outcome will be. |

Thank you for your time. Frustrated, Phillip |
