Went ahead and removed the old arm and balljoint on one side.

 

Those arm look right. Let us know when you get them. Did you mark the way the camber bolts went in?

 

I know which way they went in, I assume the alignment shop will correct them if they aren't correct right? The other side isn't taken apart yet because it got dark so I can reference if I need to.

 

Yes they should swap them. If not, then they don't know what they are doing lol ...

 

I'm not a rocket scientist but I don't think these are supposed to be manual


I should probably replace these before I install the new arms eh? It's going to be more of a pavement type car not hardcore offroad whatcha recommend?

 

I'm hearing good stuff on Rancho shocks, but not sure on which one to use yet

 

yea I'm hearing bilstein and Ranchos are the only way to go. However it's hard to choose between them..

 

That car has been sitting out there for a good couple of months. I've been busy with work and a lot of other things. I know you have a lot of experience so I was wondering if stocks shocks were alright for my blazer. It's got the torsion lift and I've already got the rear shock extenders installed. The car will mainly only be on the road and isn't used for heavy off-roading. Would the stock shocks be able to handle road dips alright without overextending or should I get some longer ones. If longer than what can you recommend. Thank you!

 

Quick update to my pretty boring thread, I've got quite a bit of progress done on the Blazer. I've installed a body lift and new mounts, fixed the leaky differential cover, and installed one of my two new upper control arms. I bought ranchos shocks but both were defective and looked used on arrival so I went and purchased some bilsteins. Here's some pictures. It's still on the jack in the first picture but if the CV looks bad I'll turn it down just a bit. It's still the same measurements as it was in the first photos of the thread.

 

Looking good. What do you plan to do for tires?
