ok, cool...i'll check it out.......but i was wondering about yours...i saw another pic of it somewhere and it looked pretty low. wondering if you had a build thread

[blazer2007]

No build thread but some pics.The orange one I got the potoshop guys to remove the top and paint it orange as thats the color I chose one day to paint it.I just have bags in the fr. and flipped rear in those pics.I,m almost finished with bags in the back leaving 3 leafs and a 1 in. lowering block,but now I will have to cut up the floor to go lower but that will be my winter project.

man, dont cut the floor. look at my build thread on my 86. i have a step notch and in the pics my axle isnt ever more than a c notch deep....in other words, a bolt in c notch is all i really needed and i regret cutting the bed and building the notches. plus, unless u do a porterbuilt to get the front down lower the back will still be way lower...just think about it more before cutting. all you really need is a small "tub" for your rearend to not hit the floor. if i do it, im going to cut a perfect circle where the rearend would come thru and then stick an old school smooth hubcap in it. it would be chrome and removeable...i would do that if i were you...and with an ekstensive metal works 2 link and panhard bar, you could have a good link system and maybe tunnel for the floor braces...i dont know, im thinking cutting the floor is avoidable, i would think about it before cutting....i really regret cutting my 86

I don,t think I will have to be too agressive on cutting the floor just where the pumkin sits hopefully,almost done so I will see how its sits and where the drive shaft is going to ride.I have a ford 9 inch that I,m doing for the winter and I might go the 4 link or 2 link route.
