what to do first??

[sdimev8]

ok i have a 98 blazer 4 wheel drive now bone stock,, i want to get it bagged, some 20 inch rims, and a nice system and alarm. the thing is i don't know what to do first? the system im not worrired about, but what size 20's oh this is going to be a daily driver should i get the rims first then bagged or the other way around?, and last question is there any company who makes an alarm that would control shaved doors, and remote start, with just one remote? thanks for any advice you can give because im totaly lost lol

Check out DEI products for the alarms.. They make Viper and Python I do believe.

if I were you Id bag it and then worry about the rims. That way youd already look good and then could upgrade to those rims later.

sell it and buy a 2wd

[sdimev8]

why's that?

[Derrick824]

Because you can't bag a 4wd truck. At least you can't do it and keep the working 4wd. Also it will limit what kind of rims that you can use, because 4wds have a high offset.

Yea 4wd sucks, if you get 20s on a 4wd they look small casue it is so high

[the_dubster98]

yeah derrick said, sorry was going to type pretty much the same thing, but had to get back to work

An alarm shoud always come first.

so there's no way to bag a 4 wd ? i hate to say it but what about hydroloics? if not whats the best way to lower a 4 wd blazer please help i cant stand looking at it stock!!!

[blazeondubz]

hydraulics has the same problem, u can bag a 4wd but most likely not keep the 4wd feature

Sure you can bag a 4wd but you'll have to yank out all the 4wd parts. Its much easier to sell the 4wd and buy a 2wd to install bags. Belltech makes a 4wd lowering kit. You can also check out www.blazinlow.com. Theres a torsion bar trick that will lower your truck in the front and then you can throw some blocks in the back.

For $50 u can lower it a static drop about 3"(Blocks/Torsion). I like having 4WD knowing ill never get stuck in the mud or any dirt or anything, it's like a conveniance. IF you're looking to BD it and bag n' all yes a 2WD is much better. I just like having a lowered 4WD cuz u never see em.
Personally IF I were to keep a 4WD(which I am) I'd do suspension mods first so it's more fun to drive around town. Get a 3" Drop using the torsion bar adjusting and 3" Blocks out back. $50, and a new set of Belltech Nitro Drop Shocks(like $170). ONe of the lame things about a 4WD is that the shock mounts are really odd so there's not really much of a choice for shocks.
BTW not to whore, but anyone ever found any REALLY good lowered perf. shocks for blazers besides belltech nitro?

thanks guys ill look into it

[sdimev8]

could i still put 20 rims with meaty tires on it and still drive it fine for everyday use if not 18's? any one have any pics of the kit mentioned above installed?
