Help identifying parts please

I am getting ready for final assembly....going through the boxes and bags of original parts and found these unlabeled... Some look to be jack and/or spare tire parts but since I've never disassembled a blazer (only a few trucks) I'm not 100% sure and not sure where they'd go. also not sure on the two large bolts with rubber grommets both sides....were they possibly suspension parts that weren't re-used with the lift kit put on? thanks...

Re: Help identifying parts please

The blue parts are definitely the jack hold down pieces. No idea on the big washer, possible for the behind the seat spare tire holder. It might be the always missing part that goes on the hub of the wheel. The other bolts and bushings must be for leaf spring shakles or something like it.

I don't recognize it. Could it be for holding the heater hoses together? Looks too big to be for any brake or fuel lines, I don't think it's for any wire harness. If it's for A/C hoses I have no idea. I never had a truck with A/C.

Re: Help identifying parts please

I'm thinking the shackle bolts are probably the ones that hold the rear spring shakle to the frame bracket. If the springs were replaced they might not have pulled those out to save time, and just did the spring bushings.

Thanks, they went with a complete lift kit so probably didn't need these. Thanks again for your input and fast response

Re: Help identifying parts please

the clip on the lower left looks like the ones I had on my suburban that held the AC or trans cooler lines.

Re: Help identifying parts please

I'm also thinking the clip is a heater hose hold-down. Snaps in a hole on the passenger side inner fender well.

The blue brackets and springs are jack hold-downs. The boly to the vertical wall of the step up to the bed, behind the seat (driver's seat I THINK). I don't recall the arrangement, but on hook engages the circle on the end of the spring after it get stretched over the jack. The other end of the spring is bolted down and the sring runs side-to-side across the area behind the seat.

The washer is the spare hold-nut part that covers the large hole in the rim. There is a J-bolt that hooks into a strap on the spare tire bracket and a big wing-nut that screws onto it. The washer spreads the clamping force of the wing-nut over the big open center hole.

edit - here's a link on the board to the set-up on the jack hold down.

Re: Help identifying parts please

The blue pieces are to hold down the tire iron behind the drivers seat on the step-up.

The one clip snaps to the top of the inner fender for the heater hoses
