6" tuff country EZ ride springs all around, 35x12.5x15 BFG on 15x10 5 slot ralleys. Once I get it all done I'll probally shim the rear eand springs to get the rear "squat" out of it.

That looks great. I'm kind of doing the same thing, but I didn't do the body off thing, and I wish I did. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Can you get a pic showing each valve cover and the firewall no that the body is back on the frame? It sure is fun watching them go together.

Looking Good!!
Dang, I forgot which truck this was. I went through you photo albums and it brought back the not so distant memory of you story after you brought this blue blazer home and what you found when you tore into it. What a transformation you have done so far. Congratulations on progress and results so far. You are an inspiration.
Again, does everyone whose been here a while remember this truck? I was following posts but forgot what he started with. If I remember you had your plans for blazer already when you bought it. Thanks for keeping us updated.

doors and rocker panels
Started on the rockers and door alignment and discovered that my driver's bed side was pulled in (after half a day of trying to align the drivers door). Fixed that so it'll never happen again as well as make the doors shut more solidly. Once the entire roll cage is in, it should look more "natural". I used the dash cross bar from my 10 point cage kit. I decided to make a blazer door after hearing Gee Emm describe the process. My driver's door is ripped out where the hinge plates bolt on.

Thanks for getting the firewall pics. Your K5 does not have a body lift, correct?
