Blazer wheelbase

Ok I know the factory wheelbase on a 72 blazer is 114". But does this dimension change when running a porter built drop member front and a porter built 4 link in the rear. If I understand it correctly this dimension changes on the trucks when running this setup.

Re: Blazer wheelbase

Wheelbase at factory ride height is 104". When lowered on the factory setup, this shrinks due to the geometry of the suspension. The Dropmembers cure this, bringing the wheelbase back closer to factory specs at a lowered height, visually centering the wheels in the wheelwells. I would check directly with Nate for specifics, as it may stretch slightly more/less pending your setup.
