Finished up at work a little early so I decided to get a head start on my weekend of fun by grinding on my frame. Now I should be done by Sun night.

Congrats, I'm still recovering from food poisoning, so no progree this weekend for me. :>(

SWEEEEET! Nice work!

raidermanny · 09-12-2005, 11:30 PM

skokie they are 4" wheels. I bought a braided wire wheel and a regular brush wheel and the braided worked alot faster and held up better.

What crossmember is that on the ground there?

Thanks..

72CSTC5 its the crossmember that came with my FatManFab IFS kit. I have coilovers in the rear and thought I would go with them up front too. That's gonna be next weekends project.

Do you have the rear coilover kit from CPP? That's what I have on my 2wd blazer frame. How low did it actually come out to? I have the 41/2" kit but I want to go lower.

raidermanny · 09-13-2005, 12:59 AM

I did get the 4 1/2" kit from CPP. If I lower the springs all the way it puts the bump stops right on the rearend. It looks like a 5" drop and thats enough for me.

So you didnt run a frame notch? Also what track bar did you go with to center the rear end. I have the adjustable one that mounts in the stock locations. I did not know if that one was going to be enough or not. Thanks for answering the questions. I havent run across anybody else that has this kit installed on their truck.

raidermanny · 09-13-2005, 11:22 AM

I probobly have the same one you do. You can see it installed in the picture , I just painted it silver. It's the adjustable bar also from CPP. It fit fine and centered it right up. Also the guy at CPP said I didnt need a frame notch.
