Hey man what kit is that? That truck came out awesome I like the setup. Hows it ride?

Bad94 · 02-16-2007, 05:07 PM

Here is mine, i need to get some off road pics
2001 S-10 ZR2 ( have 2" BL and looking at wheels now)

lifted88 · 02-17-2007, 02:38 PM

Heres my 88 4x4. i put a 350 in it, a 3" body lift, 3" torsion keys and a 5" TM lift. I used the soa kit that came with the TM lift and then put blocks on it. Cleared 38.5's great with no rubbing at all. But due to overheating problems with the small block i only got to drive it about two days.

Changed my mind anyway and im going SFA w/ dana 60's front and rear.

crazy91s10 · 02-17-2007, 04:15 PM

i was gunna ask you how that front end held up with those 38s but im sure only drivin around 2 days wont tear up the front end.

Onimun · 02-18-2007, 12:58 AM

Thats a sweet Prerunner

I got an 88 Blazer 4.3, are there suppost to be Tow hooks on the font?

chris15706 · 02-19-2007, 04:07 PM

Heres mine with 30's and no lift yet.

DeathSlinger00 · 02-19-2007, 10:55 PM

well, here's a quick snapshot of my truck right before winter started with some new wheels and 30" tires.

lift to come this spring.

crazy91s10 · 02-20-2007, 01:40 AM

^^damn that is a real clean truck. i dont normally like ext cabs but that looks great! wish mine was in that condition!!!

Rinkrat456 · 02-21-2007, 12:59 AM

8" SFA to come this spring will look like this. Already turning the knuckles cutting the front Dana44 as we speak. Using Tuff Country full size chevy leaf springs up front and a NP241 transfer case to make my 2WD into 4x4. 265/70R17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain's on 17" Cragar Soft 8's.

monkeymouse · 02-21-2007, 01:26 AM

All that work and your only gunna put about a 31" on it. I say go SOA and 35"s!

Yep...this is still a daily driver so 31.8" is as big as the tires get. It's still going to be spring over, but the tuff country springs are 2" lift, compared to the 4-8" most guys go after.

NC4x4 · 02-21-2007, 02:11 AM

Why are you going Chevy D44? You wouldn't have had to cut and turn the knuckles if you would have stayed with a HP Ford D44. I've got 12"+ (not including the body lift) and 37s and I didnt have to cut and turn at all.

Wagoneer D44. I know what you have as I see you all the time on S10extremist. Brent has been helping me turn the knuckles to set the caster at 5* and have the pinion set at the same time.

NC4x4 · 02-21-2007, 05:01 AM

Oh ok, well thats cool. I was just wondering because a high pinion axle makes driveline angles and all so much easier. If you don't intend to lift the truck a ton more, you should be in good shape. And don't get me wrong, you will have NO strength concerns, I would just almost go with a HP D44 and shorten it (if width is your concern) before anything else only if you think you might ever go higher. Let us know how your truck turns out. If it looks like that picture, it should look great. I mentioned Chevy axle because that picture shows a passenger drop axle up front.

If BFG made an All-Terrain tire that fits a 17x8" rim that's no more than 11" wide but 33" tall, I would.

I'm in Minnesota, wide tires are the devil in snow. Plus I got a deal on the 265/70R17's for only $105 a piece, new, so I ordered 5 just now. The rendering makes it look like a centered differential, waggy is a driver side.

Edit: Oh, Also...I'm only using 3.73's front and rear for better fuel economy on the highway. This is no mud queen.

just personal opinion, thats a lot of work to be puttin into a daily thats not gunna see mud or dirt. i'd save the time, money, and effort and just go with lift spindles springs and soa in the rear and run 31s. just my 2 cents though. afterall the point of an sas is to make it more offroad capable isnt it? no offense meant at all in this post... just personal opinion thats all

NC4x4 · 02-21-2007, 05:13 PM

Thats a good point. If I wasn't going to go over 33s I probably wouldn't have ever put axles underneath it. Once you take off stock-type applications, it never rides the same, etc.

GeorgesBlazah · 02-21-2007, 06:31 PM

SFA your truck and Ill trade you mine

Rinkrat456 · 02-21-2007, 06:31 PM

I agree completely, that's what my HHR is for.

A real daily.

But this will be my hunting truck that I tow with, take through cornfields and beanfields, plow with...do what a truck is meant to do. I don't mind the work involved. The only reason it needs a somewhat soft suspension compared to a monster's like NC4x4 is because I drive a good hour to the hunting spot.

GeorgesBlazah · 02-21-2007, 06:33 PM

So no trade?

Rinkrat456 · 02-21-2007, 06:42 PM

You crazy? She's my mistress. I spend more money on my truck than I do all my girlfriend's combined! The only Blazer-type vehicle I'd ever drive is a Bravada as a daily driver for the AWD, but I'd toss in a 5.3 first with a twin screw for awesome cruising gas mileage.

crazy91s10 · 02-21-2007, 08:59 PM

once again my opinion haha. sorry i have more than just 2 cents

... i'd just keep this one as your actual daily and buy a 4x4 to go huntin with. can easily put 31s on it and it'll be 4x4 and ya wont have half as much work as sasing your current truck. also a fullsize might suit your application better esp for plowing. then you'll have the v8 too!

paintitblack · 02-21-2007, 09:20 PM

all this speaking of not sfa if not goin big, wuts up with that?? i'm rollin on 31's now and not planning on goin bigger than 32's when i get new tires. and to throw salt in the cut, i havent even taken it offroad yet and its almost been sfa for 10 months now. ok, i havent taken it in the dirt yet, mainly cause i'm not with her right now. but would i do it again, yup. Y? other than maybe costing a little more than a IFS lift and more time to have done, there is no other drawback. It rides like a cadillac now, i rarely get bumpsteer, it doesnt rattle my jaw (and the interior) going down FM roads, has alot more capability, stronger, easier to repair, better MPG and its SFA. so my question is, why go IFS at all?

no intention to ruffle any feathers

slam · 02-21-2007, 09:42 PM

Thos are alot bigger than 31's lol

Rinkrat456 · 02-21-2007, 10:09 PM

It's just the angle. Look at the other pics. I told the guy who rendered my truck to show it with 33's on 15" rims. Looks to me like they're 17" rims and 33's. What's going on is 265/70R17's.

Guys, I have everything but the front driveshaft for this SFA swap. It's going down so no point in trying to talk me out of something that I already started. Save your fingers the hassle of typing and just don't.

Well if you're gonna do if for sure then.....can't wait to see some pictures

BTW, I wasn't trying to talk you out of it, so don't take it that way. Just giving my general recommendation that I would to anyone so they don't spend the extra time and money if they aren't super sure they want to do it.

Also, if you are going to be towing stuff, don't put a locker in the rear axle.

Rinkrat456 · 02-22-2007, 02:59 AM

Right you are. The Ford 8.8 I have in the rear is a limited slip, stock from the Exploder. It's not going to be altered or changed, just different axle shafts with a 6x5.5 bolt pattern to match the D44 up front.

This is the smittybilt Tubular front bumper right? They very same from Back to the Future on Marty's Toyota. I really want this bumper on a second gen s10! The second gens have a curve though, and with the grill lip might be hard to get it on. Maybe a LS grille without the lip, and there would be a gap on the sides, but probably not to bad, and may be able to cover it up and look good, has anyone seen this on a second gen? Let me know! If no one has any idea I'll have to be the first to get this to work on a Second Gen 98+ front end.

They look like at least some 35's to me.......

Rinkrat456 · 02-24-2007, 03:43 AM

Got a few new renderings done. I need help deciding the paint scheme. Black or green on top?

sockjock · 02-24-2007, 07:28 AM

Hey rinkrat...I really like the look of your renderings for your truck. I looks like something GM should have built. And you paint scheme and wheel tire combo looks great. Now for a V8 and ...I'm drooling. Good luck.

Baggey22 · 02-24-2007, 01:51 PM

Definately go with the green on top. Especially if you are gonna go with the black rims. If you left the black on top it would look like a Sonoma Sandwich on burnt toast.

NC4x4 · 02-24-2007, 03:34 PM

I liked the all green myself, but maybe I'm just a simple man. lol

How's a 6.0L sound? Someday after the lift, probably looking at summer for the 6.0L/4L60E package.

sockjock · 02-25-2007, 01:39 AM

Perfect...now if my wallet was only bigger. Been wanting to do a 6.0 swap myself but I'll probably do the 5.3 instead...bigger supply of used 5.3's that are more in my price range.

Wagoneer D44. I know what you have as I see you all the time on S10extremist. Brent has been helping me turn the knuckles to set the caster at 5* and have the pinion set at the same time.

I was just wondering because a high pinion axle makes driveline angles and all so much easier. If you don't intend to lift the truck a ton more, you should be in good shape. And don't get me wrong, you will have NO strength concerns, I would just almost go with a HP D44 and shorten it (if width is your concern) before anything else only if you think you might ever go higher. Let us know how your truck turns out. If it looks like that picture, it should look great. I mentioned Chevy axle because that picture shows a passenger drop axle up front.

This is no mud queen. just personal opinion, thats a lot of work to be puttin into a daily thats not gunna see mud or dirt. i'd save the time, money, and effort and just go with lift spindles springs and soa in the rear and run 31s. just my 2 cents though. afterall the point of an sas is to make it more offroad capable isnt it? no offense meant at all in this post... just personal opinion thats all

If I wasn't going to go over 33s I probably wouldn't have ever put axles underneath it. Once you take off stock-type applications, it never rides the same, etc.

But this will be my hunting truck that I tow with, take through cornfields and beanfields, plow with...do what a truck is meant to do. I don't mind the work involved. The only reason it needs a somewhat soft suspension compared to a monster's like NC4x4 is because I drive a good hour to the hunting spot. Last edited by Rinkrat456 : 02-21-2007 at 06:33 PM.

The only Blazer-type vehicle I'd ever drive is a Bravada as a daily driver for the AWD, but I'd toss in a 5.3 first with a twin screw for awesome cruising gas mileage.

paintitblack ur wreckin my set Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 18 Location: DFduB User is: OffLine	Re: Post Pics of Your Ride! all this speaking of not sfa if not goin big, wuts up with that?? i'm rollin on 31's now and not planning on goin bigger than 32's when i get new tires. and to throw salt in the cut, i havent even taken it offroad yet and its almost been sfa for 10 months now. ok, i havent taken it in the dirt yet, mainly cause i'm not with her right now. but would i do it again, yup. Y? other than maybe costing a little more than a IFS lift and more time to have done, there is no other drawback. It rides like a cadillac now, i rarely get bumpsteer, it doesnt rattle my jaw (and the interior) going down FM roads, has alot more capability, stronger, easier to repair, better MPG and its SFA. so my question is, why go IFS at all? no intention to ruffle any feathers

Looks to me like they're 17" rims and 33's. What's going on is 265/70R17's. Guys, I have everything but the front driveshaft for this SFA swap. It's going down so no point in trying to talk me out of something that I already started. Save your fingers the hassle of typing and just don't. Last edited by Rinkrat456 : 02-21-2007 at 10:11 PM.
