Thanks guys! Finally got to drive her. A few things to tweak but rides great minus the body roll from no sway bars haha.

Gonna get pics of some flexes. Need to install an add a leaf in the rear and either coil spacers or find some cheap cherokee 3" lift coils and lengthen the front driveshaft about an 1" more.

I see you have a Gibson exhaust? What's your opinion on it?

Sweet Blazer to. Can we get a side shot showing how far the tires stick out and also, I presume the wheels are 15x8 with 3.75" of backspacing?

Sorry for the late response. I love the gibson its a nice throaty tone and great cabin sound. Thank yall. Ill try and grab one tomorrow i dont have just a rear shot of it. Correct on the wheels.

Took her off road with the spacers and add-a-leafs. hardly any body contact except when flexing or smashing the gas pedal over some stuff haha.



I eventually made it through that hole. Really dug it out for the next guy haha. Just kept creepin towards it hittin it backin up repeat. And pulled my first cherokee out Chevy power!
