1972 Blazer Coil Spring Suspension
I came to the conclusion that I was not totally happy with the ride and braking of the stock suspension and decided to perform some upgrades.

Re: 1972 Blazer Coil Spring Suspension
I am missing a security token, sent a message to the administrator to see how to fix it. Will not allow me to post photos at this time.

Re: 1972 Blazer Coil Spring Suspension
I chose QA1 because I did not feel like removing the cross member.

Re: 1972 Blazer Coil Spring Suspension
Very cool. Are you having to modify the upper coilover mounts to work with your 4wd frame?

Re: 1972 Blazer Coil Spring Suspension
I am in the process of having a custom set of C-Notch plates made with upper coil over mounts. I will update the thread when they arrive and I begin to install them.
