My avatar is a photoshopped SLAMMED version of my truck, but I'd never actually do this to it. I'd vote lowered if lowered were an option.

ChevyDude · 10-28-2004, 11:41 AM

My 2wd is 4.5" lowered in the and 4" lowered in the back....My K-10 is stock now but will be 4" lifted when the resto begins.

Primed67 · 10-28-2004, 11:43 AM

2wd's were made to be slammed and 4wd made to be lifted!

boraxman · 10-28-2004, 01:26 PM

I like lowered

sactoC10 · 10-28-2004, 02:14 PM

Primed67 MEGA DITTO, that says it all.

When we had a 76 K5 Blazer in the family (that I blew up BTW), it was certainly meant to be lifted!

crazy longhorn · 10-28-2004, 02:42 PM

I dont claim "slammed", but will talk "oldschool"....4" chop, 3/5 drop, ontop of a 1 1/2" channel (oldschool body drop). My old Longhorn is somewhere in the middle of the road......I call a 3/4 or 1 ton a Workhorse , or serious hauler, & have 1 ulgyer N chit 78 K 20 flat bed to fit that bill

the old longhorn would have been 1 sweet hauler....but too much hotrod blood running my old veins

she is like the old red headed stepchild, 4200lbs of he!! on wheels! I love the look on the kids face(drivin the stang, or Z28 ) that plays with that old truck.....not all about hp, but a lesson on gears

A-MEN, I WANT A SLAMMED 2WD BLAZER ON BAGS TO DRIVE EVERYDAY,
CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE "GQ" EVERYDAY, TOO MUCH INVESTED AND NOT
EVEN FINISHED WITH HER YET, MAYBE SOMEDAY I'LL HAVE BOTH.

*P.S. - JELOUS OF 2WDBLAZER, OF COURSE IF MINE WERE THAT HIGH IT
WOULDN'T FIT IN THE GARAGE, THUS THE "GQ" NICKNAME WOULD BE GONE.

vtblazer · 10-28-2004, 07:01 PM

Hey Luv,
I bet there's a couple 2wd's out in calli you could buy...

68w/sbc406 · 10-28-2004, 07:17 PM

hey luv any new pics of the 'GQ'??? not that picture isnt a beauty

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-28-2004, 08:08 PM

VT BLAZER - THE NEXT ONE I BUY I'M DRIVING HOME

68W/SBC406 - UNFORTUNATLY NO, COMPUTER DIED A WHILE
BACK, MY B-DAY IS COMING UP MONDAY, HOPE TO GET THE
REST OF THE UNPRIMED PARTS TO A BODY SHOP, IF I GET
SOME B-DAY $$$, THEN SHE WILL GET A MOCKED UP JOB,
NO INTERIOR JUST MAJOR PANELS FOR LINE UP SPECS AND
STUFF, THEN IT WILL BE TIME TO GET PAINT ESTIMATES.

I ALSO HAVE ALL MY INTERIOR STUFF NOW, SO SOON I'LL
BE GETTING THE BUCKETS AND REAR BENCH RECOVERED.

*dtlilly* · 10-29-2004, 01:17 AM

Imo,
2wd should be stock ride
4X4 should be lifted 4-6"

68C15 · 10-29-2004, 07:01 AM

given the poll options I had to go with slammed. lowered for asthetic reasons yet still useful for fulfilling its intended purpose would be a good description for mine. I have a home brew 6-8 drop with bags & full suspension travel. as some may remember I do in fact use it for hauling "stuff". in all actuality I like them all, just for different reasons.
lowered-----looks good & still able to work
slammed----trophy / nice to look at & admire the engineering involved
lifted-------4x4 with big tires for romping through the mud (big time fun)
stock-------history lesson
