Laying rocker you should be able to lay out with no fender mods on the rubber band size they make

Or people who dont have the time to spend researching and coming up with a design themselves. They would rather bolt something on that is tested and proven already. Or maybe people who don't have the necessary equipment available to build their own suspension setup. Or a grown up who has the money and just wants a job done.

It's not always a skill issue.

I dont see why he did that, we did a 4inch bd on the blazer, and did not have to raise the fender.

Re: Body Dropped Blazer on 24s + 22s

man all of u immature faggots need to get out of this mans thread. ppl like yall make me want to drive my truck off a bridge and buy a ****ing car or something. if i had the money i would put 24's on my truck. i could careless what anybody had to say about it. stock rims look ugly as hell unless u have a set of newer zq8's. so stop ****ing talking shit and getting off subject in his thread. if u dont like it then dont ****ing come in here. there many other threads on here that u can say ur worthless bull shit it.....end rant

back on subject...... the blazer looks badass. i cant wait to see it done. hes just upset because he has a truck that looks like everybody elses on the forum. but keep up the good work man its gonna look badass when its done!

Re: Body Dropped Blazer on 24s + 22s

listen I appologize for ruining the thread. I was just stating my opinon early on. Then kris came on saying a few pointless remarks and instead of being the bigger man I was the 20 year old and talked the shit back. Again I am sorry. But just to clarify on stock sheetmetal you can fit a 22 up front when laying rocker, and on a truck and I dont know about a blazer 24 in the rear. I am not trying to act all knowlegable but its simple measurements. You take a 29" spot or whatever it is and what can you fit there and lay out?? Again I am sorry, I am sure the blazers gonna turn out kick ass and be a real neck breaker.

simply ammunition they know they can use to get stuff all riled up. There are alot of things your truck has that most do not.. but w/o reading your old project thread you wouldnt know that. its all about picking things apart. Theres waay to much of it on the forum anymore. But.. thats how we are these days.

yea we tried to work something out but with him being 7 hours away and not owning a trailer its tough to work out these kind of things... it doesnt have an air setup and it doesnt move under its own power since the drive shaft is out and the rear end isnt mounted soild so its difficult... im sure he would love to have it out there but its not that easy sometimes...

See that is what i dont understand, on a s-10 all you have to do is 3 1/4 bd to lay rocker, with the blazer we had to do a 4 1/2 bd to lay rocker and still didnt have to raise the fender

what characteristics between the two are different as far as hieght that make it necessary to have to cut 4-1/2" out? Frame taller or just the bodymounts sit higher?

to just lay rocker you only really need 2.75'' bd on a s10. but i would never do anything less than a 3'' so it lays hard.

Re: Body Dropped Blazer on 24s + 22s

so that being said, the frame is taller than an S10 requiring the extra inch of drop to really get the same effect. If the frames were similer.. id say hell yeah.. thats wierd!, but since you are running a smaller tire and he was running something thicker .. he might have needed the clearance. kinda get what im sayin?

laying rocker is laying rocker. if it takes 2 3/4" or 4 1/2" if you just lay rocker the top of the fender is still gonna be x number of inches off of the ground.
