Re: intro and project...K5 2X
Well for those who might be wondering these pics I've been posting are from the past few months, I got some more parts in so i can finish up the front,and still need to run the air system and start on the rear suspension.
Slow process but its coming along http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/xxlf250/k522.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/xxlf250/k523.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/xxlf250/k525.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/xxlf250/k521.jpg |
Re: intro and project...K5 2X
Bad ass. Not a bad idea. Been wanting a 2wd Blazer- but they are hard to find around here. And if you plan the lay it out- like you did...you are buying everything anyway. i may start looking at 4x's to convert.
Nice work. |
Re: intro and project...K5 2X

Re: intro and project...K5 2X

Re: intro and project...K5 2X
That's funny I've been waiting that long for this blazer from an uncle of mine and had to move quick on it before he wanted it back.lol
It killed him when I took out the front axle and told him my plans. Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: intro and project...K5 2X
What did you use for the rear suspension?
Looks like the Impala rearend worked perfectly. Also,... can you post the wheel/tire specs? |
Re: intro and project...K5 2X
the rear is 4linked its a custom setup by AirRideEquipment a shop here in So.Cal
and the rear was a great swap used the stock tabs for the upper links posi, disc brake, 5 lug all in one package... coy 22's 265/35 |
Re: intro and project...K5 2X
If I didn't use mine for towing and/or wanted to keep my factory A/C box, I would totally of gone this route.
