Not everyone gets over to projects and builds so I figured I'd post up a few pics here. I've got no rubbing and they ride great.

Need to put some more miles on them but so far they ride better than what was on there. I attribute that to them being lighter and less aggressive. Gotta remember to retorque those lug nuts too....

Your blazer looks great! That is the same wheel and tire sizes that i plan on running on my Jimmy with a 4" lift. What brand lift do you have? Is it all spring? Do you know what the back space or offset is on the wheels?

Thanks

I pieced the lift together a long time ago. The springs came from my uncle and we are unsure of exactly what they are other than it lifted it up roughly
4", I used blocks in the rear with the original springs. It rides great. Here are some wheel specs, -12mm offset, 4.53" backspacing, 17x9.

What steering stabilizer do you have? How much of a difference do you notice with it on?

Really like the look overall. Is that paint factory Ochre color or a different shade of yellow? Looks great compared to my faded factory version.

I believe its a Skyjacker setup. They do make a big difference with big tires. They take the jolt out of the steering wheel when hitting a bump.

Its Corvette yellow. You could possibly wet sand with some 3k and buff your paint. It goes a long way in bringing color back.
