So i have a 1996 blazer and have been aquiring things that i have wanted and finally got around to installing them the other weekend.

-torsion keys and shackles
-2" body lift
-32x11x17 super swamper tsl
-17 inch american racing rims
-2inch wheel spacers (front) 1.25 wheel spacers(rear)
-heavily trimmed fenders up front





gears still to come (any suggestsions 4.11, 4.56, ???)

 

Looks really good!

 

so how much of a pain inthe *** was it to do the torsion keys, because i was looking at a 2 inch lift tat came with new torsion keys, upper control arms, ball joints, shocks, and rear shackles for $490, just wondering

 

the torsion keys werent real tough, but the torsion bars didnt pull forward because of them being rusted. so i had to take the cross member that the keys sit it off and bang the hell out of them till keys came loose. then it was easy.

i saw that kit but ended up getting the keys and shackles for about 150. might be worth it if you need upper ball joints, but dont think the new a-arms and stuff really are needed.

i had to crank the #$^% out of my t bars to get my tires to work so now its got a little negative rake.i need to lift the back a little more, has any one done shackles and add a leaf together? will this be way to much?

 

Looks mean!

 

may just be the pic but the back looks like it could rub, other than that looks great

 

Looks great.

 

Looks nice.

 

where did you get your lift and shackles?

 

That looks great. What model are those American Racing Wheels?
