New Pics!

RedlineRacing · 01-29-2009, 05:48 PM

Hey guys. Washed the truck today. I did my best to keep it clean on the ride home

. Leme know whatcha guys think.

Purchasing a CAI very soon, as well as a 2" BL. How do you guys feel about the AEM bruteforce intake?

To me, it looks like alot of the frame is already showing. Is this normal or does it possibly already have a small BL? I tried looking under it alittle today but didnt really want to get in the snow.

Also, can someone please make me a banner for my sig. Maybe try a couple different pics and ill see which one I like best. Thanks alot guys.

i like the color combo, i'd lose all the plastic shit on the sides aswell as the bug guard and roof rack

^x2 clean though

I vote against the body lift. They're cheap, but they don't look good at all. Blazers already sit 1" higher than s10's because their body mounts are higher on the frame. I vote lift blocks in the back and crank the bars up front for another inch or two.

I just ran outside and took off the bug deflector right when you said that

Too damn cold to take the plastic trim off right now tho, dont wana risk any paint peeling up with it.

And where can I get lift blocks just for the rear? And how do you crank up the bars?

I think im just gonna go with the BL. When the weather starts getting warmer the 6" superlift will go on, along with new tires and wheels.

blazer_ss · 01-30-2009, 02:30 AM

yea blocks in the rear will lower it you have to go with a lift shackle

BudRacing · 01-30-2009, 10:54 AM

Depends which side of the leaf you put them on.

6 inches of lift is not going to clear 35's with out a shitload of cutting..
a more realistic goal is 33's

the blazer frames are taller its not the the mounts are higher up on the frame..

so if he puts blocks under the leafs the truck will get lifted?
what about the axle that is on top of the springs..

no matter where you put the blocks it will either lower it or do nothing till he flips the axle..

he has to first flip the axle to the bottom of the leafs and that will give you 5 inches right there...

***orangesonoma*** · 01-30-2009, 12:32 PM

i would leave the trim on...it dont look bad

that sounds like a good idea...

sockjock · 01-31-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah, what he said. Here's mine with 2" body lift and 31's on my factory rims.

sockjock · 01-31-2009, 11:12 AM

Understood, I'm very familiar with both. I suppose I worded it wrong.

The axle flip was assumed, but I guess that would get him the desired amount of lift or more without the blocks anyway.

I'll stay out of lifted threads... I don't even know why I posted in one.
