Ordered lowering kit, brakes, rims, and engine in one day. Gonna paint it red and redo the interior. Any ideas of what the most modern split bench seats fit in these Blazers?

nice score

After some serious suspension upgrades, tire sizing decisions, I think I have my stance for this daily driver. Now paint stripping begins.

Any specs. on what drop you have and tire size and wheel you are running

newmexico · 10-14-2011, 08:55 AM

Started off with a 5-7 from Belltech and then started changing it up from there a 1/2 inch at a time. Blazer is being done in Arizona and I live in New Mexico. I will get all specs from builder as soon as I tell him this stance will work. You guys see anything weird with it? Any input helps!

17x8...........235/65/17 front

When I saw the first pic I thought "What is wrong with that? Leave it alone!" but then I saw the newer pics, and I have to say, you have bettered an already nice truck. Keep it up!
