HaS ANYONE NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE IN THEIR FRAMES?

[pfcmooney]

Has anyone noticed differences in their frames compared to other s10 truck or blazers? The frmae under my 02 S10 Blazer looks very very much lower than other trucks. Maybe it's just because i recognize my truck more than others? It seems as if right after the front tires, the frame drops really low and merges back up under the truck towards the rear tires, does anyone know something i dont about this?

[AJ]

mine sits lower too man, i dont know why either..............



lol

[1sicksdime]

the blazer frames do hang lower than trucks do

[andocommando]

yes, the blazer frames are built atleast an inch taller than s10 frames

[pfcmooney]

Yes, most definately an inch....that kind of makes me not to even lower my blazer anymore. You know, the more and more i research about the blazer, it comes out to be a POS, i mean the whole idea on how the rear glass actuator has no way of easy repair, and this frame issue...pretty damn dumb to me.

[cpolaris502]

I see nothing wrong with the frame, why is it so dumb?

[russell]

I didn't have any problems. It just makes you 1" higher when layed out...big deal, if its so bad, the bodydrop it.

[Back_N_Black]

werd bodydrop it!

97- Blazer frames are the same as the S-10's. 98+ frames are made a little different and yes sit about an inch higher, I believe the brackets that are welded to the frame are placed higher up as a 4/5 drop on a 98+ blazer looks like a 3/4 drop when compared to a S-10,this was done because GM is gay.

Welcome to the forum, you are an idiot, please go somewhere else, thank you.
If you are complaining about fixing an actuator, which is not that hard, then you do not need to drop your Blazer, in fact you need to sell it and buy a KIA. Maybe your Blazer is a POS, because the owner of it is a dumb POS?

[cpolaris502]

what kind of info do you have about -97 frames being the same height as an s10?

[ZQ8 Blazer]

There's a guy around here that has a 95 dropped 5/6 and it sits like an s-10 with a 5/6. Norcal SS was going to buy some 97- bodymounts for his 98+ blazer but found out that wasn't the difference. You can message him, he knows exactly what the difference is in the two frames, but I'm pretty sure it's where the brackets are welded, then again it may be the entire frame. I just know the 97- sit just like an S-10

[bmxbang]

makes me wish mine was an older one just so it would sit lower lol

[russell]

uhh mine is a 95. see the huge ass frame?
the 98+ have bodymounts that raise it 1" more than the pre- 97's

Pic:

This is what it looked like factory. Best pic of the frame I have.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Yeah I know the frame on the 4drs is a lot bigger than the S-10, I was talking about how the 98+ sat up a lot higher. Sorry if I confused some of you. I may be totally wrong about this though, this is just what I've heard

[wildman ss]

I'm callin shenanigans on that one as my frame looks like any other 2 door blazer frame and sits just as high

edit:
stock


now:

[ZQ8 Blazer]

I don't know it's just what I was told. I'm waiting for a reply from Norcal SS on this, maybe he can shed some light on it. The frame might be the same size, but look at Russell's Blazer and the one in the pic and then look at the fender well gap, it looks like the 2nd one has a lot more.

[wildman ss]

I will agree that 4 doors seem to sit lower (suspension wise) than 2 doors from the factory

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Naw I'm saying all the 98+ Blazers sit higher. Here's a thread where Norcal SS talks about the 98+ sitting up higher, he thought it was the body mounts, but found out that wasn't it. I can't find the one where it tells what the difference really is.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Here's a little more discriptive thread on it.

its the actual mounts not the bushings that are higher. so unless u cut n weld its not gonna drop.

I don't know though.

[cpolaris502]

i thought we were talking about the frame hanging below the body, not fender gap. either way, i think that they are pretty much the same, no 1" difference.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Well hell I dunno, I'm stoopit I guess

[cpolaris502]

here is the height of the frame on my 99

[bmxbang]

the 2dr 2wd all look like monster trucks stock... when i look at this picture it makes me feel better about my blazer lol

[cpolaris502]

lol, mine. Its the same flag pole in this picture and my avatar.

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Ok guys NORCAL SS pm'd me, I was wrong they're the same height
