Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Tub & frame are together again.
Not really a job to be taken on solo IMO but it worked out. Just sitting on the rubber mounts, three of the old bolts are still welded onto the tub and the two 1st position bolts are only in the holes. Rear axle is way forward, glad these aren't the springs I had planned on running. |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
Love the color scheme. When you come thru Knoxville keep it in sight. One of them Vol fans might hijack it. Looking good.

I guess I do. After talking with other guys having done this with the DIY flip on their 1st gens, I was told I got em on correctly. When I do order my rear springs, I'll make an effort to have the shackles sit @ the magical 10* loaded. |

Check the measurement on the blue k5... I.E. where the shackle drops. Looks like to me that they're dropping in the same place. The blue K5 has 4" lift 3/4ton springs (56") that with the 4" shackle flip netted 6" total lift and is very flexible, as you know. |
