I have a 1975 2wd blazer that I will be rebuilding and want to hear what full air ride suspension kits are good...I think my budget is right around 4-5k... I will be dropping in a ls6!

To me the best is http://pbfab.com/ but im not sure if they make a rear kit for your blazer its best to talk to them about that.The front is the same as a 1/2 ton pickup and they got you covered on that.

We currently don't have a rear kit available for the 73-87 Blazers... but have it on the schedule.

The front we have you covered all day long with tons of options! Your budget sounds very realistic and you will be able to get some quality parts and do a nice mild kit at that price.

Feel free to send us an email if you have any questions! Just make sure you put together a solid plan for the project... if you don't have a good plan before you start it will take a lot longer and cost a lot more!

Also.... do you have some pics of a blazer (or truck) that has the stance you are wanting to achieve?

Thank you Nate... so I want to get my truck pretty low but not to the ground and want to go with 20's all the way around.. At the same time..I got questions about static drops as far as uneven road and wheel changes I may do...and this is why I figure "air bag/on board adjustment suspension will be perfect for me...

I seen a 2wd blazer on this site that I can not locate that had the PERFECT stance! I'll keep looking...

Ps...please let me know your thoughts

Can you weld or do you need a bolt on kit?The rear you could do a weld on 4 link kit and small notch,But if your not in a hurry i would wait for nate to roll out the rear kit for that blazer.

Re: What air ride suspension kit to go with?

Here is my 78 with porterbuilt front end. The rear is a triangulated 4 link. Thanks to porterbuilt it lays on the frame. I'd love to do a body drop but don't have time or money for it. The version 6 is much easier to install than the old version I had on my 64. Spend the money and do it right. Now I gotta clean all the wires up on my motor and hook everything back up. The previous own had everything wrapped and hidden in colored wire loom

Re: What air ride suspension kit to go with?

Doing a weld-in parallel 4-link would be a fairly easy route especially if you already have a notch.
