that is a horrible thing to happen to any vehicle especially a blazer I feel for ya man *moment of silence* ............... ok so I actually had a question for you while I'm at it, you cranked your t-bars 2" is that safe to do and how much more wear and tear will it cause?

its safe, but it'll kill your front end parts i was replacing hubs and cv axles every few months, now of corse I got the more expensive parts with lifetime warranties so it didn't cost me any money but its just more of a pain to keep replacing stuff

So it wouldn't be a good idea to go 2" on my daily driver just stick with 1.5" ?

I wouldn't crank them at all to be honest. get a body lift if you want to fit 31's

Oh .... okay I guess I will have to rethink my plan then. I was originally going to do a 1.5" t bar crank, 2" rear lift shackles and a 3" body lift and run 33's. I have heard from some other people on here though not to run bigger than 31's on a stock diff what will happen if I run 33's or will it be fine ?

you will lose a lot of power and get bad gas millage. I would strongly suggest to regear to 3.73 gears or 4.10's

Damn dude why the heck didn't you ever respond to my threads. I go to rausch creek alot, IDC if you have a 4Runner get your **** up there with me.

BTW if you come out my way there's a yard in new ringgold we could probably get a motor for the blazer from cheap.

Also if you're still selling parts off the blazer....if you've still got the tire carrier or bull bar i might pick them up off ya.

But either way get back to me and lets go hit up rausch.

I would rather just stick with 31's than change gears and everything else
