Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Good build. Are the rear bags supposed to be helpers, or will you run those and triangulated four link? If you do the four link, consider slam RE8's. They run about $70 per bag, have 8.5" bellows, only require 120psi to be fully extended, and are a whole lot smoother ride.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
I think the same way. I drive it/keep it low all the time & don't care for the 'frame on the ground' @ the fairgrounds trend. But (another one of those).... air sure is nice when it comes to changing tires or getting a jack underneath the vehicle.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
That's all that matters then. I think it looks cool, too. I probably won't do it to my Blazer since I want to keep the back seat, but then again, I tend to change my mind a lot.

Re: 72 2wd Blazer: Project "Break Me"
Looks fantastic! Allot of people are not going to know just what all was done to that "truck" and that will be the fun part.
Couple of questions for you. 1) by laying back the windshield, squeezing the A pillars in and not widening the top do you think you will have a problem getting glass to fit in their right? What are you plans for going about this? 2) It looks like you had to cut the B pillar area to align with the door and the squeezed A pillars so do you now need to change out the window tracks so they are also in line? I am probably thinking way to much into this but I can't help my self. You got me thinking ![]() Kevin LFD Inc. |
