looks sweet Anthony but... i'd go a bit lower. a 1" gap between the tire and fenders all the way around would look killer. :metal:

Yeah I'm thinking of about a 1/2" to 3/4" lower in the rear but that'll be it. The front is already dropped 5" via (3" spindle and 2" coil)... and my 87 truck is dropped 6". With that said... I won't go another 1" for a DD... too low for me anyways to drive everyday and everywhere. I'm very thrilled with the overall smoothness, tightness and quietness of it now.

TODAY... I fell in love with it for the 1st time!!!! :uhmk:

awesomeeee !! lil lower in the back 1/2" - 3/4" what did ya do in the back to lower it ? flip , shackles , c notch ?

Re: The wait is over... DROPPED pics inside
 
Yeah... I'm going to wait till I get the wheel spacers for the rear installed 1st. Then I will see how it looks from the lip compared to the front. The back tire is really sets in as we all know... it'll be real close to the front.

I added a 2" coil to the 3" spindle up front... the back I added a 2" shackle. I also installed belltech nitro's which made a TREMENDOUS difference in the ride. Then I replaced the swaybar bushings as well. Everything that I had in mind... is finally coming together.

I always thought your truck and blazer were twins, but now seeing them side by side looks like the truck needs a 91 burb clip and they would look sweet with cowl hoods ;)
You should paint the black part of the grill and the headlight bezels white. Just my 2cents.

Re: The wait is over... DROPPED pics inside
 
Nope not twins... and I actually prefer the older front ends. If and when I do anything I will be changing the Blazer front out to the early style again.

Looks awesome! About the only thing I would do is swap the trim on the sides and back the the chrome trim with the two black lines like your truck. To me the mostly black trim dosent flow very well.

I would leave the stance alone. Looks great to me, and exactly where I want mine to sit, if I can ever get started on the suspension swap.........
