didn't they have the cars up on welded together rims? The place I went there was lots of room to work under the cars. I'll probably be back for the stabilizer, that'll come in handy.

and yea I bed linered the grill and bumper because the grill was all messed up but now I have a nice new bravada grill and bumper, I don't plan on bed lining those, the paint on that is almost new its great. if your grill needs painted I'd either get some nice shiny paint or you can go with the spray on liner, the grill doesn't look very nice with the role on stuff.

Some cars were, most weren't. The Z I found was resting on the ground. Did you find the stabilizer on any non-ZR2 trucks? I checked about 60 trucks (a few different yards) and only found the one ZR2 that had it. I didn't think they came on regular Blazers. Also, make sure you have the bracket in front of the diff for it. I've read on here that some trucks don't have the bracket.

Yep i might do this "zuck" mod everyone is talking about anf a body lift. My ultimate plan is to get another set of rims and get some either 32's or 33's and put some micheline ltx's on for driving around tires and keep the m/t's for off roading. And yea the two door i found is a non z. Only 2 door i found with it. And my truck has the mount for the stabilizer just needa the center link. Im gonna go and look for a g80 when the axles are on sale for 55. Pretty good deal

the finished product, just have to find a new hood, and a passenger fog light and it'll look really good. the bull bar doesn't fit after putting on the new valence. I've decided to get a full brush guard to protect my nice new grill and bumper.
