Got some new stuff (if you haven't seen the thread in sights and sounds). I put a two inch body lift on, went fairly smooth other then having to buy some easy outs (put that off for too long anyways).

I then bought some 31x10.50x15 Goodyear Duratracs and they arrived in 3 days.
I ordered my wheels at the same time from a different company and it took a week and a half for them to ship out. Then 4 days to get them. 1 wheel showed up in 3 days and the other three the day after. After all that i had no lugnuts and valve stems. Called about them and finally got them after another week. Needless to say it too entirely too long and I wont be ordering from them again.

Here are some pictures:
After lift before tires

Wheels on, then noticed a problem


Stuck out a little to far

Fixing

All fixed


And Finished (check out my thread in sights and sounds for more pictures)



I bought a good amount of heat shrink and some more 0 gauge even tho I think I have enough for my battery to amp and big 3 upgrade.

Next on my list is:
Fender Flares
Bull Bar
Lights and more lights
Work on audio system (big three, active setup)
Undercoating (frame, tow hitch, maybe steps)
HIDs

*I'm sure there is more, never ending ya know

Really nice tires! They look pretty aggressive. Not sure I'm a fan of the rims (just not my style). And I just noticed...you're the only other person I've ever seen in a Blazer with the tail light brush guards like I have lol.

Yeah well, I may be one of those too Alex... I'm just trying to figure out if it'll wreck the "cleanliness" of the exterior... I'm planning on a debadge, so I think those brush guards and a safari light bar (bull bar style) would be going the other way...


BACK ON TOPIC: Nice job on the truck... It looks awesome!

Thanks guys I love the look they give the truck. The brush guards were on it along with the westin steps when I bought it. I'm not sure If I really like the look brush guards. They make it look like I need a full brush guard with the headlight protectors and I don't want that, just a bull bar.

I don't see the westin bars on the truck anymore. What happened to them?
I agree with the trails tho. You really do need something up front to balance them out. I plan on getting one eventually. I'm undecided if it will be a bull bar or a full on brush guard. I'm leaning more towards the full guard.

I took them off when I did the body lift and left them off because I'm not sure I want to keep them. I might throw them back on and see if I want them or not. Who know, until then they will lay in the garage.

I'm leaning towards a bull bar since I'm going to get bushwackers. I don't want too much going on.
