Re: i hate blazer bumpstops!

i use a plasma, but you can run the outside bead with a cutoff wheel, then just cut the rest off from directly below the frame.

you may want to put in a new bumpstop or c-notch it, that axle is going to be smacking the frame pretty quick. i would also cut the bracket off the axle housing as well, its pretty large and can contact stuff if you notch it.

Re: i hate blazer bumpstops!

having the floor cut out made mine way easier to cut off. but they were still a big pain. i used the grinder on all of them.

Re: i hate blazer bumpstops!

I lowered my blazer 5/6 and I just installed a sd bolt in notch today. It was not too bad took about 3 hours with me and my dad. We used a sawzall and a cutting torch for most of the cutting. Rides good now with plenty of suspension travel.
