rocpede4x4 · 09-18-2009, 05:16 PM

it's great to see more blazer's being lifted and can't wait to see pics.

***What?*** · 09-20-2009, 09:54 PM

Yeah, they look good as Prerunner.

Fortunat72 · 09-30-2009, 02:55 PM

i actually just dropped it off yesterday to get the front springs installed and some how the moog 5664 coils i got are only a 1/4 inch taller then the drop ones i had. doesnt make sense to me but hopefully ill have it back by friday. also in the front what else can i do to add lift i really want to get this thing up there

the spring rate is different. the moog coils wont be any longer than your stock springs. so no worries you will get the lift

twistedsmily · 09-30-2009, 06:29 PM

you could do a brake swap, for s10 brakes, so you can run the lift spindle,

Fortunat72 · 10-01-2009, 11:32 PM

what is everything u need for the brake swap?

rocpede4x4 · 10-02-2009, 02:07 AM

u will need

lift spindles
calipers
rotors
inner and outer bearings
brake pads
dust sheild w/abs
nut and washer kit plus the coverto kit the grease in
and alot of grease

i think that is everything

Or in picture form...

Fortunat72 · 10-02-2009, 09:52 AM

UPDATE! Ok so my mechanic took the drop blocks out of the rear and put the moog 5664 coils up front and says its sitting level. Now i have no idea how the kid lowered the front i assumed coils but i guess spindles. So he said hes not gonna install the shackles cause it wont sit level. Now i think i take the cake with the most odd suspension setup with the truck sitting level - zq8 leafs, drop spindles and moog 5664 coils lol FML. Now since i need to replace the spindles these are the two options i have and i was looking for some guidance. This is the route im looking towards (either way the zq8 leafs are goin back to stock blazer ones) - replace drop spindles with stock 2wd blazer spindles and install the shackles or s10 brake conversion, lift spindles, add-a-leaf, and my shackles. I still need to install my 2in body lift but if i go with just the stock blazer spindles and the shackles what size tire would i be able to run without any major trimming?

Fortunat72 · 10-02-2009, 08:04 PM

PICS!! so this is with the drop blocks out, moog 5664 in and drop spindles lol

Then after some grinding, a little elbow grease, and my dads headlights

Next i will be installing the body lift sunday or monday

rocpede4x4 · 10-02-2009, 10:30 PM

it is getting there and keep the pics coming, too.

DFitty · 10-02-2009, 11:04 PM

ur takin the skirts off,right?

Fortunat72 · 10-03-2009, 04:43 PM

There off, if u look at the pictures the last one u can see it. Such a pain in the a** and now i have rivets all down the side of my truck

Also i need some advice for the rear bumper. I have one of 3 options.

-I can cut the skirts off the one on it now so i can keep the flare goin but i dont kno how good that will look and i dont kno how to round out where i cut it.

-Replace it with a stock ls white bumper.

-Roll pan. (This is what im leaning towards but idk how good it will look on a lift truck.)

Dukeboy320 · 10-03-2009, 04:57 PM

Sweet!!!!

alarm_the_alarm · 10-03-2009, 10:20 PM

I think roll pans look super clean on lifted trucks id go with that IMO

Fortunat72 · 10-06-2009, 01:15 AM

body lift in, still have to put the back and front bumpers on ill have pics tomorrow

Fortunat72 · 10-07-2009, 12:26 AM

Bumper relocation brackets?

Fortunat72 · 10-09-2009, 06:06 PM

PICS!

I need to get rid of the extreme kit on the back sides and that dumb exhaust tip but it was right up against the bumper prior to the BL so u can see how much it lifted. still have to install 2in lift shackles and stock spindles up front.

i had them in and it still wasnt lined up right but i fixed it.

rocpede4x4 · 10-09-2009, 07:39 PM

looks good and look the local junkyards to find the rear side skirts off a blane blazer of the same year.

Fortunat72 · 10-19-2009, 05:32 AM

Truck is for sale as is. Im getting an 05 tahoe at the end of the month and need some cash towards it. 2800 obo takes it

96superflow · 10-19-2009, 10:26 AM

Hoes are nice!!!!!!

Fortunat72 · 10-19-2009, 07:10 PM

yeah a friend of mine is selling his to me. Its an 05 blue tahoe with 100k miles 2wd 5.3l v8 for 4500

***What?*** · 10-20-2009, 03:36 PM

Well, you can put everything back to stock to be able sell $2800 easy.

96superflow · 10-21-2009, 08:32 AM

damn thats all for an 05?!?!?!?!? i like mine being 4wd thou.

Doc · 10-23-2009, 12:23 AM

well the reason the front doesnt line up (fender and bumper) is because of the xtreme front valance lines up with the xtreme fender flares. once you remove the flares or install an xtreme valance it will line up again.

-YumYum97s10- · 10-23-2009, 12:34 AM

To sell it, you would have to undo everything you just did.

alarm_the_alarm · 10-27-2009, 05:37 PM

yea. why do all the work then sell it? its nice looking. would look realy mean with some lift spindles up front and some 31s/32s. you came so far to sell it...

***What?*** · 10-28-2009, 03:49 PM

Oh well, he has new plans for different vehicles so he will do what he can.

alarm_the_alarm · 10-28-2009, 06:46 PM

yea. throw a big lift in the tahoe

some 38s anyone?
