Well,Rough Country finally opened their eyes and looked at the truck and how un level it sits.They are sending me a new set of front springs,and bushings to install on the 71.Hopefully this will level things out.Am I happy to get the lift?Yes.Am I happy to have to tear the front end apart and swap springs? NO!
But,that will give me something to do for a hour or so,remeber this is all new stuff,new non rusty bolts..I'm going to have the ones I'm removing re-arched,a spring added,and I'm putting them in the front of the blazer and get some 4" rear blocks for now.So,a lift for the blazer and new springs for the truck.
