Firewall looks great - what has you second guessing the 4" lift?

Re: Bodys back on!

looks good its going to be nice when its all done. I would think with 35 and 4 lift if your only mall crawling you will be ok but an off road you may get your body.

Re: Bodys back on!

Are you sure you ended up getting true + 4" front springs, what brand front springs? I have owned several blazers and trucks with 35's and a 4" lift and never had any issues in the front, it was the rear that I have had some rubbing/cutting of the tires issues but even then only while off road wheeling and only at certain angles.
