Re: Upgrade

haha.. funny.

i got my train horns monted up.. well they are all 4 zip tied up under the front bumper. kinda ghetto, but they are only horns and its a DD lol.. i got my power wire ran from the battery and down the frame rail. not sure as to where im mounting compressor yet so i just coiled it up and zip tied it outta the way for now. i am going to see if my dads 5 gallon tank will fit under the truck anywhere. id like a little more air this time, and im gonna carry a air hose with me for tire fill up etc.

Re: Upgrade

not yet man. im gonna go with the spacers for now, see how i like the ride. if i like it ill get it aligned. then if i come back within a few months the place i go usually re aligns it for free since i took my blazer there so much LOL...

i just need the thing a little more level. im not a fan of huge rake. dont want the ugly cali lean either though.

No apologies needed. I was only joking. The funny thing is, I'm going to end up with a more aggressive rake once I mount up a shorter pair of 235/60-15's in the front! ABS fuse, here I come!!!!

Re: Upgrade

how much bigger are the tires you are going to get vs. the stock ones? And i would assume the 3inch blocks out back would be the equivlent of 3inch drop blocks on my truck? If so, ur not going to get a nnoyed with the worse ride?

im want to run 33's... i forget stock size. im only going like 2" taller i think. i dont remember though, i know the tires on it now are not the factory size, they are a lil smaller IIRC..

yes the block is the same. i drove a 6/7 drop blazer with less than 2" ground clearance, not much is going to be worse than that

yea ihear you. I know there on page two, theres a pewter truck that looks like it was just leveled out front and the tires looked ok, not too big and not too small for the stance. And than there is a 99-02 white one on the same page that is a 4x4 wiht 3xx.xx.17s i bleive. Just curious on how this all will affect ur ride and ur mpgs. And on the two inch ground clearnce, yea i guess u cant get much worse , lol

Re: Upgrade

If your running 5" up front, 305/70/17 will fit with minor trimming.

If your running 3" up front, 285/70/17 will fit.

Which harness? Well harnesses are a pain to keep track off, which feature or option are you trying to keep with the harness?

Re: Upgrade

correct, 5% over factory..

and windshield is just awesome. completes the blacked out window look.

my buddy has a reg cab s10, 2.5% on all windows, then 50% on windshield. keeps it all blacked out, but from the inside you cant even tell its tinted.
