You have two 2wd Blazers? No fair dude! Mine had spindles and bags. My clearance problems were all from the headers. They hung below the frame. The collectors were the first thing to hit. Never had any need to remove the inner fenders because of that.

Here's mine, 2.5" spin, bags, and 20's.
No inner fender wells, ans a 27" tall tire, I believe it was a 235/55-20.
I trimmed the fenders a little so I could still roll a PHAT side to side.
If you plan on a body drop then you will need to relocate your hood hinges.

no such tire size as 235/55/20, i think you meant 255/35/20 as thats a 27" tall tire.

YEP, that's it.

great looking jimmy brad! looks like you got alot of work ahead of you ?
nsane how far off the groung is your crossmember?
your front wheels look prettty wide what is your wheel size and offset? are you gonna cut your a-arms?
i'm stuck with the dilema of cutting my stock a-arms for a little more clearance side and top.so i'm getting a few ideas i still think i'm gonna have to cut my front fenders quite a bit though.
i wanted to hear from LOTIK,bagged68,or 68c10 on 20's but they seem to be preoccupied ????? i'm now fitting up the fenders>>>

brad2 · 02-07-2003, 10:11 AM

WOW! That is am AWESOME looking Blazer! My jimmy is getting a brand new chassis with an Art Morrison front clip. The track will be narrower. I think hood hinges are going to be my challenge.

damn! I want your shop! and is that one giant toolbox off to the left! That blazer's goin to be pretty sweet too!

NSANE68!!! · 02-07-2003, 02:45 PM

baggedblaz, they are 20x8.5, with a 4.5 backspace.
They tuck fine not too much room though, I ditched the inner fenders and trimmed the fenders a little for more clearance.
My front crossmember is about 1/2-3/4" off the ground.

NICE BLAZER!!!, can't wait to see it done. GOOD LUCK
