Long shot question...
I have a 72 Jimmy with a new Rancho 6" lift (front springs / rear blocks). It has brand new 35x12.5x15 Maxxis Big Horns on rock crusher alloys with a matching spare. For me, with little kids, its just TOO TALL and I'd rather go back to something closer to stock. Is there anyone in the Oregon / Idaho area that has a stock setup, or maybe up to a 4" lift setup that would want to just trade? I'd like to make it a little easier for the kids and wife to climb in and out of. I know this is a long shot, but I figured I'd test the waters just in case.

Re: Long shot question...
Not to rub salt in the wound Tomahawk but just a week ago I traded all my stock suspension for a 6" set up from a suburban here in Stayton, Oregon, dont give up someone will chime in and trade you, or go with some steps or Amp hidden running boards

Re: Long shot question...
Cool, thanks guys. I'll take you up on that Bill! I appreciate the offer Amity, but I get over Boise direction a lot more than I get out your way. I still have my stock rear springs (that are sadly sagging) with the 6" blocks, so I just really need the stock front springs. Question... I know my driveline was extended when he did the 6" lift. Is that going to mess me up if I want to drop it back down? I'm sure I'd be fine to drop a few inches, but not sure about the whole 6". Might have to drop it this weekend with the nice weather and mock something up to see where that would put the driveline. Can't really drop it back down yet anyway until I have some different tires (and probably wheels).

Re: Long shot question...
My guess is that the driveline will be a problem, I can't see how you could go back down to stock with it extended.

Re: Long shot question...
I did see that listing on Craigslist too. I don't think that's a bad price, but I'm trying not to spend much on the Jimmy right now. I have a 70 C10 that I'm trying to finish up first. THEN I'll spend money on the Jimmy! Don't tell my wife. And I don't mind the steps, but I drive on the highway to work way more than I drive it offroad. Kinda rides like a tank on the highway

Re: Long shot question...
No problem, just let me know when you're headed down. I rearched the stock springs and ran 33's on my old blazer. Just an option to get you by till you're ready to toss money at that thing.

Re: Long shot question...
I love that Blazer. If I'd have been smart I'd have bought that thing from you long ago! How's your truck coming?

Re: Long shot question...
I know, I kick myself for selling it. It really hurt when I saw it on e-bay and the new owner just trashed it. Pickup has been on hold with all the other home projects. Getting the Camaro in this weekend for the summer tune up and then I’ll be back on the truck, starting on patch panels then off to the blasters.
