Ordered lowering kit, brakes, rims, and engine in one day. Gonna paint it red and redo the interior. Any ideas of what the most modern split bench seats fit in these Blazers?

After some serious suspension upgrades, tire sizing decisions, I think I have my stance for this daily driver. Now paint stripping begins.

Started off with a 5-7 from Belltech and then started changing it up from there a 1/2 inch at a time. Blazer is being done in Arizona and I live in New Mexico. I will get all specs from builder as soon as I tell him this stance will work. You guys see anything weird with it? Any input helps!

A little old school attention with pinstripe. I hope the recessed glass holds up.

Looking good! I cant wait to see it finished and out in the sun. Do you happen to have the paint code for the silver? I like it, looks bright and clean.
