hey everyone i have an 01 blazer 2dr 4by and was wondering if any of you have ever noticed if the body sits over to the right a little. my neighbor has a 02 ZR2 blazer and its the same thing. i haven't actualy taken a tape measure out yet and measured it just used the calibrated eye lol. anywase was just wondering if anybody eles has seen this and if theres a fix.

Thxs John

Depends on how much gas is in it. If it's empty, it'll lean to the right. With a full tank, it'll lean to the left - because of gas tank location.

not on a 2dr, the gas tank is in the center behind the axle. and he is not talking about it leaning, he talking about it being shifted to the right.

no, ive never noticed that on mine.

hey just took some measurments and the axle is centered in the frame rails, everything looks good, the body mount attach point just above the axle i had a good look at, on the left side it almost touches the lip on the inner wheel well, on the right side it has almost 1/4 of an inch of clearance, so looks like its off to the right a little, the only reason i can even notice it is cause i have spacers in the rear wheels, wen i take them out u have to realy hunt for it to be out. next question is, is it hard to readjust?

just loosen the 10 body bolts, and re center the body. then loosen the bumper bolts and center those.

mine is not centered. ive also had the body bolts out for a body lift then took the body lift off. i need to re center mine. i noticed when i stuck a 15x10 on the back. on the driver side it sat flush with the outside of the body, and the passenger side it stuck out past the body.
