Re: New Tires for my Blazer

That could be the very best stance for a 4X4, perfect! Id like to see more pics of your truck if you have time....

Hey 69-72, did I see you heading south towards Grands Forks/Fargo on June 28 by any chance? I saw an orange blazer heading that way on my way to Winnipeg.

Re: New Tires for my Blazer

That's what I put on mine, and I'm actually planning on taking the 2" body lift off while I've got it apart. I like the stance, and I can't see anywhere there's not enough room for the 33s.

Looks great. How long ago were the springs replaced it is still nice and level. I don't like when they start to sag in the rear end.

Re: New Tires for my Blazer

Okay sorry it has taken me so long but not sure if I even have a lift. Dont know what this is if it is some kind of lift Ive never seen before but here you go. Also if anyone can identify what I have that would be great thanks. Also sorry HYPERMAN for hijacking your thread. These are in the rear.

Re: New Tires for my Blazer

Those would be overload springs. Used for towing something with a lot of more weight than the truck was designed for. They are NOT a lift. Junk them IMO
