looking for 2 door blazer 1st gen build logs

F3RR3T · 07-26-2009, 11:18 PM

im having a hell of a time finding 2 door 1st gen build logs (the squared off ones)

V8Blaze · 07-27-2009, 12:03 AM

there really arent any. The best one i can think of is phatfarmer hes got a huge one around here somewhere. Ive got some pics in my sig but nothing major, i suck at taking and posting pics.

F3RR3T · 07-27-2009, 09:59 AM

thats a shame

dragn88 · 07-27-2009, 12:08 PM

I've got one.

F3RR3T · 07-27-2009, 02:55 PM

to keep a back seat i wouldnt use any setup with a diff bracket, they stick up way to high. Id go with a regular 4 link. Use behind and under brackets to keep that part low. And the most important thing IMO is dont over notch it. Pick a rim size/over all diameter tire you would like to run, and do some measuring and only put the notch as high as you need. Same goes with the driveshaft crossmember

i was thinking maybe a parallel 4-link with reverse cantilever bars

F3RR3T · 07-27-2009, 06:44 PM

I think my plan is going to bag the front then worry about the rear

V8Blaze · 07-27-2009, 06:55 PM

well with a parallel 4 link, the upper bars are going to come up into a weird spot in the body, then you will have to run a panhard bar or a watts, which will again compete with gastank space. Theres not alot of room. First gen frames are similar enough to second gen ones that you should check out the second gen blazer builds too. Some stuff will be a little different but they similar enough to get a great idea of what space will allow

badmatt · 07-27-2009, 07:50 PM

or do an underlsung... would be different and probably the diff would only come 4-5"s into the truck.

later point down the road maybe now no

blazerlow · 07-27-2009, 09:33 PM

I don't have a thread either, so I'll just whore it up a little here. I'm probably not much help though. I'm bodied 4 1/2" and not keeping the rear seat. Plus I'm building a whole new floor and firewall.

I went with a universal triangulated 4 link and built my own brackets.

F3RR3T · 07-27-2009, 10:49 PM

looks like it will turn out killer

It's a 4 door but it may give you some ideas...

Forklift · 11-05-2009, 02:03 AM

Im still needing ideas!

Madkaw_16 · 11-05-2009, 09:16 PM

it's not finished yet, still needs shocks put on

thatblindguy · 11-06-2009, 01:08 PM

That set up looks nice, but seems like it might be a bit big for a backseat.

Ya, it's really tough to keep a backseat when you're layin' rockers on 22's tho
