dballin69 · 06-22-2009, 09:24 PM

I have an 01 Blazer im about to bag. I am looking for pics of rear setups that people have that do not go into the cab. I want to lower it as far as I can without cutting the floor.

MidnightBlaze00 · 06-23-2009, 12:14 AM

agreed i was just about to post a similar thread so any pics would be great....

dballin69 · 06-24-2009, 12:20 AM

I started my notch today. Going about 2 and a half inches out of the frame and that should take me to the floor. With 20's and 245/40/20's Ill be about 3/4 of an inch off the ground which is close enough for me.

MidnightBlaze00 · 06-24-2009, 12:59 AM

question, your c-notching it and keeping the stock floor in the rear????? if so let me see some pics of that........thanks

dballin69 · 06-25-2009, 01:46 AM

Heres a pic of it done just before I painted it. Gonna do the passenger side in the morning. Came out pretty good and so far I have $18.00 into it. Cant believe they want like $90.00 for it. Ive got it notched all the way to the bottom of the body mount. Hope I have enough room to put the top of the pig right up against the body.

MidnightBlaze00 · 06-25-2009, 03:09 AM

thanks for the pic the more the better lol it dosent look like it was that hard to do at all.......keep them pics coming and thanks again

dballin69 · 06-26-2009, 02:50 AM

Yeah it wasnt bad spent 9 and a half hours doing passenger side today. Came out pretty good for having about 20 bucks into it. Havent worked out my bag setup yet, I wanna keep my anti sway bar so its gonna take some creativity. Getting a set of front spindles next week for 200 and cant wait. Got my front bag mounts for 50 off craigslist and made my own shock relocator brackets. Hoping to either buy or make a tank in the next few weeks and get a compressor and some valves. Gotts get creative when your layed off and no money lol.

MidnightBlaze00 · 06-26-2009, 11:12 AM

sweet and i know what ya mean with the whole fixed income deal, i posted a thread awile back asking the cheapest way to bag a 4dr and noone could help me lol, an c-list is awesome......

bdydrp18 · 06-26-2009, 11:21 AM

i hope it is just the angle of the picture but that notch looks no where close to the center of the axle.

wildman ss · 06-26-2009, 07:07 PM

I don't see how you could only be 3/4" from laying out with tires that size and a 2.5" notch

dballin69 · 06-27-2009, 12:42 PM

The angle looks like that because the axle is dropped. When you put the truck on the ground it moves back. My kid said the same thing lol. I think Ill be a little more then 3/4" off I figured it with the wrong size tires. Budget is what Im all about. Got my metal from a small local place for 10 bucks I have another 8 in bolts and another 8 in cutoff wheels but still have some of those left. So I figure about 22 or 23 bucks into it. The top plate in the notch sits on the bottom of the body mount. Hope I never have to remove it lol. This isnt my 1st project Ive done other S10s, a C1500, Denali, Suburban and my H3.

wildman ss · 06-27-2009, 02:42 PM

is it a 2 door or 4 door blazer?
Cause my notch is right at the bottom of my body mount too and theres not much room in there at all and this is with 15's, it lays leafspring but it might just bareley lay frame

dballin69 · 06-29-2009, 03:04 AM

Its a 2 door and like I said I think I figured it wrong. I have 20's on it. Ill get it as close as I can and that will be close enough for this year. Now next year may be a different story lol.

wildman ss · 06-29-2009, 06:36 PM

I like those wheels

I don't want you to think I'm hatin on your stuff man. I just wanna make sure you got your information right and you know what you're getting yourself in to. Blazers are no fun to bag

iroc2nv · 06-29-2009, 10:40 PM

Hey, how did you get that grill red ? I'm thinking about doing that to mine. I like the cowl hood too.

How low is that and what'd ya use?

dballin69 · 06-30-2009, 07:44 PM

It's half ass lowered right now. The hood and grill were on and painted when I bought the truck. It was lowered to but instead of using spindles in the front they used 3" drop springs. The back has a 4" block. Im waiting for my spindles to come in now should be here tomorrow or thursday. Cant wait the truck bottoms out bad in the front right now. Yeah I am learning that Blazers suck to bag. A bolt on each side of the truck, on the side of the notch was hitting the calipers so I had to take them out and weld the holes in. Only gonna do front and back if I do side to side it will def hit my notch.

Woody22 · 07-09-2009, 05:51 PM

i understand your on a budget but shit if your gona be an inch off the ground save some money and make it lay...

id be willing to bet some money that you will regret this down the road...cuz you will wana lay out...

dballin69 · 07-13-2009, 12:39 PM

Oh I know man Ive been there when I did my C1500. I dont have the money to cut the floor out and everything right now and this is really just my 2nd vehicle. I really wanna bag my H3 and after I get the Blazer done thats whats next.
