yes i love it. so much extra room is very nice. even though i dont need the extra room, i love having it.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 03-29-2009, 10:14 PM

not much to look at since its stock, but i needed to send some pics to my grandparents, so ill post them here.

hrspwr454 · 03-29-2009, 10:38 PM

are you putting the horns on it? or selling them? \

looks really nice.

Dr. Pepper · 03-29-2009, 10:45 PM

damn, i would have bought your spindles/brakes, some other shit off you if you were parting it out. how much did they give you for the blaze?

diamondbackjo · 03-29-2009, 11:41 PM

if you don't mind me asking, how much did you let the blazer go for? i live nearby you and i've been looking for a two door blazer and yours was beautiful :[

Merritt · 03-30-2009, 04:55 AM

I know you're tired of hearing it, but your blazer was tits. Even though it rides better, I would've held onto the blazer, payed it off, and then looked at a fullsize.

Oh yeah, and

BudRacing · 03-31-2009, 12:38 AM

I like the truck, but I will miss the blazer. At least I still have a piece of it on mine.
Since everyone else is making suggestions about what to do with it, I'd put some 22-24" wheels on it and bring it down just enough to even out the fender gap around the wheels.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 03-31-2009, 12:40 AM

5/3 lift with 315/70's on stock 17" wheels. do a lil trimming up front if needed, and ill be happy with it.

BudRacing · 03-31-2009, 03:48 PM

Oh yeah, and chop off that ugly tailpipe. Just leave it turned down after the axle.

Now that you mention it. It does have a temp tag rather than transfer from blazer. haha.

BudRacing · 04-01-2009, 02:06 AM

Not all states do tag transfers.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 09:24 AM

our state doesnt transfer tags

and i dont care if you believe me or not lol...

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 10:06 AM

ok just because i got to work early...

NEW truck.. mine

sitting in it showing pic of blazer blocked inside

closer up

GeorgesBlazah · 04-01-2009, 03:12 PM

Should have taken the brake setup off ya skank! I know of a gyro lover that would have bought it.

ProTouring2.2 · 04-01-2009, 04:13 PM

Didn't take your plates off first? So now you have two trucks? Sweet.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 04:29 PM

wtf... You dont take plates off in texas.

Onimun · 04-01-2009, 07:59 PM

Yes.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 08:09 PM

i keep changing my mind on how much lift i want. i convince myself to do a 7" crossmember kit on 35's. then a 5" lift on 35's and trimming. and what i hope in the end i convince myself to do.. 3" spindle and 1 or 2" block on 32-33's.. cheapest and ride wont change at all that away.

BlkS10Kid2002 · 04-01-2009, 09:11 PM

also you would really want to regear if you went with the 35's... keep the cash and spend it on the LUV!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 09:37 PM

i know.. i really dont mind the truck the way it sits, i will keep it as is for a while cause it has pretty much brand new michelins on it.

BlazerChops · 04-01-2009, 10:26 PM

Yes, Chris' Blazer is gone, but mine is still around for everyone to oogle at!

So Chris, probably a dumb question, but is it running the 4.3L or is it a V8? Can't really tell from that under-hood pic.

It's a sweet ass truck, that's fo sho! If it were mine though, I would leave the front stock, lower the rear to match the front and get a set of staggered wheels with stock width tires up front and some big fatties out back, then do a nice all stainless, quiet exhaust with a couple of 2.5" stainless turn-downs at the corners. But that's just me.

Looking forward to seeing what creation you make out of this one!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 10:31 PM

its got the 5.3.

im thinking of getting a set of 3" spindles and running it like this for now...

i measured my truck and my front is exactly 3" lower than the rear.

BlazerChops · 04-01-2009, 10:37 PM

As much as I'd rather see it lowered, I'm still supportive regardless. Please, just don't go mudding with it. haha

beaniebmx · 04-01-2009, 10:42 PM

$6900? give me an adress and ill go pick it up

haha.. not really mudding. we just have this big mud hole behind work where i park now that i can drive back there and not drag LOL. so i make it mandatory to drive through it since its possible LOL...

BlazerChops · 04-01-2009, 11:08 PM

Yeah, I guess I can see where you would want to do that now that you can without bottoming out. It's just a major pain to clean up afterwords. That shit gets in all those nooks and crannies!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-01-2009, 11:16 PM

yeah, ill just run by the carwash and blow it all off there lol.

Where did u get this pic at? This is what I currently have, just a spindle lift on 265's, and it rides like stock.

shit.. i thought i book marked it. let me go back and find it for you.

do you think a 305/65/17 would fit on that setup??

blazerxtreme18 · 04-01-2009, 11:50 PM

im in the market right now for a new truck...but im keeping my blazer though lolol

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-02-2009, 12:02 AM

i ALMOST kept my blazer as well. but i have no need for 3 trucks lol... the blazer would just end up sitting for a year or so until my luv was going. even then the old man probably wouldnt want something else just sitting around.. already have 2 pos's taking up the garage while the 06/07 trucks sit in the driveway LOL

Grohe · 04-02-2009, 12:49 AM

3" spindles only 285's, biggest that I have seen on just a spindle lift

These are 305/65/17's, but this is a 4wd, so the wheels don't stick out as much, compared to a spindle lift on a 2wd, doubt they would fit on just a spindle lift.

Oh my god, I just made a mess on myself!

That's perfect!

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 04-02-2009, 01:06 AM

your the man with the pics!

im going to do a spindle lift and just get it aligned and drive it like that for now.. and when i get extra cash buy tires. my buddy works at discount so hopefully they will have both sizes in stock so i can try them..

the 285's actually look fairly wide in those pics, on that other truck they looked skinny. but that 305 is killer!

Dvst8r · 04-02-2009, 01:11 AM

Is yours 2wd or 4wd?

Grohe · 04-02-2009, 01:16 AM

The "other" truck has Mickey Thompson tires. The black one I just posted is Nitto Terra Grapplers. Some Companie's tires run smaller/bigger than others at the same size. I have Terra Grapplers, and I love them. They are pretty quite on the road, have worn very well and even.

If you want to keep your ride quality, just stick with spindles for now. They only change the mounting location for the wheel assembly, and does not effect steering geometry, or supsension travel (which lets you run factory shocks). Spacers will stiffen up the ride quality. Get some 285's, and put a block in back, or not. 285's would be VERY friendly with 3:23 gears that you have, and if you want to go bigger later on, you can probably sell the 285's pretty easily.
