They are Bilsteins and with these Deaver custom 4" springs that I put on, this thing rides like a Cadillac!

Re: New Lift on my 71 Blazer
One look at them springs I was thinking they had to be custom. Gotta dig all those thin leaves!
Very nice - that is an outstanding K5!

Re: New Lift on my 71 Blazer
Dude, that is one of the cleanest trucks I have ever seen. Can I save it to my Favs.? I liked it before the lift, now I'm really liking it. Up is always better....
How much clearance do you have between the crossmember and the oilpan?? Did you extend your brakelines?

Re: New Lift on my 71 Blazer
The lift/tire combo gives it a good stance. Very nice K5. Any install photos?

Re: New Lift on my 71 Blazer
Makes me want to jump to 4" lift instead of the 2.5" I am planning, but the old girl will have issues slipping into the garage!

Re: New Lift on my 71 Blazer
I'm at work for 72 hrs so I can't measure the distance between the crossmember and the oil pan but if i had to guess it's 1 to 1 1/2 in clearance. the brake lines are stock as there is still plenty of room to for flex.
As far as route 66, that sounds like a fun cruise. Have to let me Know the details. If you are wondering about garage clearence the truck comes in at 6' 8", so it fits in the 7' garage with no problem. The Deaver springs are located in Santa Ana, CA. the # is 714 542 2898 and the web site is deaversprings.com. |
