for those interested i will keep this thread updated with the bagging of the rear of my 4 door blazer
the front is the same as any other s-series vehicle
Basicly what i am doing is a forward facing 4 link and my rear floor is being rasied up enough for a body drop
Next winter a SFBD will be done to my blazer
I had to ditch the 4 door gas tank and sway bar. I'm going with a 2 door gas tank and no sway bar.
you could use a fuel cell if wanted.
also my frame is being dehumped. so the frame will be flat from front to back.
All this work is being done by pyscho customs in Cranston RI i'll have pics as soon as i can
Heres my blazer before it went into the shop

Are you going to do a cantilever setup in the rear for lift??? Also i would suggest a watts link and then with your four link have them mount the bars under the axle for the forward bars therefore saving the rear floor as much as possible. That is what I am going to do to the rear of mine, just giving you a suggestion in case you want to save your floor in the rear. Also to keep in mind is that blazer's don't need a king kong notch either which alot of people think they need to do, the only reason for one is if your going 22's or bigger but in that case you can always do a underslung frame which will save your floor more then doing a huge notch. Just a few things for you in case you needed some extra info, but being a fellow minitrucker I am sure you allready have it all figured out!!! Good luck and I can't wait to see it layin frame!!! :D

sounds sweet

already going with a small notch and the floor is being raised up enough to clear my rims when i do a sfbd next winter

so no pics yet but right now my frame has been cut straight and the 4 link is ready to be mocked up and installed tommorow

its done!!! driving it home tomorrow!! so excited i'll get plenty of pics and stuff for the pic whores

If the character limit lets you even post :(

Lookin forward to it though!

what character limit?

Where are the pics at??? I disappear for two months and there's no new pics LOL!!! Can't wait to see it man!!

it is done i went to get it today and the switch box stopped working so i had to order a new one once i get that i'll take it out and get some nice pics and i'll try to take some of the underneath so you can see the 4 link and notch. BTW it lays Dehumped frame and it didnt cut into my floor space AT ALL

Did you forget about us? Where are the pictures at?
I will be bagging my 4door soon, so I want to see what your setup looks like.
Thanks

Fixed it for ya with linking to the thumbnails. Check out THIS (http://www.blazerforum.com/m_36268/tm.htm) thread for information on that.

Nice work!

And yes, the forum is being quite a pain tonight. They must be doing maintenance.

i did put them all in one post and tried to get it to post for 20 mins then gave up

finally got it to work and you beat me to it

how do i make them thumbnails?

Check out the thread I linked to above. Photobucket creates thumbnails for every photo you upload. You can access them by placing a "th_" in front of the image name.

okay thanks for the help i guess thats enough pics for now should give everyone an idea of the work that went into bagging this truck

dragging!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE2xP7S8PIo

nice hitch ball... looks killer tho

How bad does that mess up your frame/the road?

he is dragging a trailer ball so it isnt messing up his frame at all, but the road kinda has little newly found "beauty marks"

Ohhhh I can see it now! Haha wow good eye...

Get a pic of that hitch ball though after a couple drags please :D

i will its almost half gone already

yah they dont last that long do they. when I bag mine I plan on having a bar that I can put down with 4 balls on it.

Dragging trailer balls guys is not so good a thing to do!! Here's an idea for ya just plate the area's that you plan on dragging that way you save your frame and the person behind you, I have seen trailer balls get drug and break off due to stress and end up in someone's front window!! When plating the frame use one solid length of steel therefore no seperate pieces can just break off, its alot of welding but it will 1 save your frame and 2 not hurt someone!! If your going to drag please be smart about it guys, just looking out for you to avoid any lawsuits!!

ive been draggin balls for awhile and i have never seen one break. this are designed to haul large heavy trailer behind trucks. that puts plenty of sheer forces on the ball
every forum im on has someone who has seen a ball break but ive yet to see a picture of one but ive seen tons of pics of worn ones from draggin

I would think they only break when you drag them enough to make the steel thin (weak)?

by that point there wouldnt really be a ball left maybe just a stud
but at any rate i got rear ended so its at the body shop right now an di wont have a bumper when i get it back!!

Getting the body drop done nice man!! I only look down upon trailer balls because of the breakage factor if you haven't had one break thats good, but on the other hand a well plated frame throws more sparks!!!

Man this is one cool looking ride, I was wondering, do you notice any change in how it drives or handels?
I was thinking of lowering mine and after checking yours out I'm that much closer to committing too the project.
Do you mind me asking what the total job cost to have it lowered?
Great looking rig you have there and your photo bucket pics were very interesting.

you could just drag it like my buddy does w/ "pinky"

another, it wouldnt let me include it in other post, i got more of it but not going to fight w/ it lol

local://upfiles/5906/D6AD2275CFB54D70998D2CB4E70C17EB.jpg

it rides alot different than stock
its definitly a lowered truck
i spent over 1500 in parts
to get it done at a shop probably over 3500
