Just lowered the blazer
 

the blazer was already lowered when i got it. looks like someone cut the springs maybe 1.25 coils off. so today i cut 3/4 of a coil off. it dropped it exactly 1 inch. now, the the of the front fender lip is exactly 25" off the ground. if i recall, that stock measurement should be around 30-32" so very significant drop on the front end. the front springs are about as long as a water bottle now! tires are cooper cobras 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear on 15x10 and 15x8.5 rally

that looks sick what kind of a drop do u have in the back?

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

it looks a lot better :metal:

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

thanks for the comments. it has a flip kit in the rear with monroe air shocks. rides great now and gets tons of looks

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

well sound like im gona have to get a flip kit for next summer lol. also looks great man i love the truck.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

im thinkin about going with flat black or a beige color for paint. what do you guys like to use for primer? color and brand? anything will look better than it does now. also im going to put in some leather tahoe buckets, new black console, new black carpet, and a new dash pad and guage bezel.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

flat black would be sick. you should post up some more pics of the truck.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Love the look of your Blazer. Every now and then I see one that makes me think that I should have gotten one instead of my truck. And yours did that for me. Great stance!

As far as color...please for the sake of 98% of painter's sanity...don't do flat black! Flat any color but black sure. But please no more flat black. It just looks cheap and has really lost its "cool factor" now that it is everywhere. I think your rig would look great in a Gray color. Nice gloss over a gray non metallic simple color. Leave the top white, and maybe to the wheels white to match. That is my opinion, you asked. ;)

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Much-O better!!!! Color-- Maybe a baby blue w/silver ralleys' and a white top. Are you going to put any trim back on?

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Baby blue, silver ralleys, white top... Sounds like my '79. ;)

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

ok no flat black for me im think either dark blue like navy or possibly red or dark grey. gonna leave the rims black for now i love how they look. i am not going to put any trim on the blazer all the holes will be welded shut. thanks for the great compliments everyone!

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

i vote flat reed with a white top have you seen 5150s blazer

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Shaun-the truck looks awesome. I'd drive the crap out of it just like it is. Navy blue always looks good on a square.

You got me thinking with that one.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

I like that a lot...:metal:

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

think im going with flat red. its my favorite color. keeping the rims black but i may switch them with my 92 shortbed stepside chevy and throw the centerline dragstars on the blazer-not sure yet. i need a new interior-dash pad, panels, headliner, carpet etc....the interior is original 1979 and it sucks lol

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

flat red.....very cool. What shade/color red are you going with? I ask because that's my color idea for my '82 C-10 build. I've thought something just basic red or even a darker maroon type flat red too.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

i used to have a 64 vw bug with huge engine lowered the works....it was painted two tone metallic black and matador red-think i may go with matador red as the shade of red

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

That flat red looks sweet, my buddy did his like that, here is a pic of the color on it.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

That's one good lookin' truck!

This is the stance I'd like to achieve. I've got spindles from my old Blazer and springs, so that should get me as low on the front end. Unfortunately I wasn't able to salvage the shackle kit from that Blazer.

How should/can I go about dropping the rear from stock without flipping the rear axle as I don't want to C it?

Tight truck!

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Nice flat red with white top or even black top Blazers are sick lowered or lifted hard to screw up a Blazer

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

love the flat red my buddy did his stepper that color...

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

great stance. I really like the flat red, and seems that no one has it really compared to black.

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

Looks great!

Again I wish I didn't have a front differential in my way

Re: Just lowered the blazer
 

flat red with original trim and black ralleys like u have now!
