Picked this up recently.
1990 Scottsdale

radiosGMs · 08-17-2017, 04:15 PM

just got this 88 Scottsdale.
Noticed that the front is riding on the bumpstops. What's the easiest way to drop another inch or 2 and fix this ride?

Additionally, front drop was accomplished by 3" drop springs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Great looking rig, I hope to get mine pretty close to this. Yours happens to be the same color and the wheel I would have gone with.

You could do a drop spindle for a 2.5-3" drop and go with less of a drop spring or look into shaving the bumpstop down if there is room. Make sure your shocks are not bottoming out as well.

thanks man, i'm going to cut the bump stops as a temp, but just trying to get a permanent plan in place and complete before the Pigeon Forge Fall Rod Run.

Why am I having such a hard time finding a 2wd Blazer? I find 4wd by the dozens. Did they not make a lot of them?

There are a few of them out here in So Cali however since a few of them are pre-smog they are asking a ridiculous price for them.

OutlawDrifter · 08-25-2017, 10:14 AM

I believe only 7% of total production was 2wd.

raidmagic · 08-25-2017, 10:17 AM

10-4 that makes more sense. Thanks

wolftat · 08-25-2017, 10:45 AM

It took me a long time to find the right one for me! I still see a bunch on Craigslist or Kijiji, depending on where you are from!

Mello Mel · 11-14-2017, 03:57 AM

Very nice shape.

427Carl · 12-09-2017, 05:15 PM

Thank you.. I just love it.. I drove it 2 miles and put in garage . Used eraser wheel to take off grandpa red stripes from the 80's .

Grandson (age 21) wants me to drop it with air bags and add sassy 6.0L . My 42 year old friend/boss wants me to swap in a Duramax (Hes done 3 2000-06 Subs. 2 with quad steer) . I think I should leave it stock . maybe duals and some 20 inch rims In spring it will be 30 so collector plates
