Nice!

What wheels did you use? Ones with different offsets so you can fit the larger tires? I might do that when the current 30x8.5s need to be replaced.

I'd be interested in your parts list and other specs for ideas for my Blazer.

I have a spare tire carrier but have yet to install it. I have also done a mild lift but I think with the ZW7 suspension it needs a bit more as the t-bars are cranked fully and it did not get up too much.

I went with a 4.5 backspace so i am out about 1.5-2". The rear rims are 10"wide and fronts are 8. That way it keeps all the tires out even so you dont get the fronts sitting out farther. As for the springs i had a spring shop build me a set with the added leaf and cranked the bars myself. Gave me about 2" of lift.

Did you do any thing special to attached the tire carrier to the body and lift-gate?

Thanks. Not really. Just line it up, mark your holes and drill away.

Yeah. Very clean. Found it stored in garage for the last ten years. Not a bad buy for 1200

Figured i would update this build. Got bored while social distancing so i started my front end conversion. 1.5 hours and stripped down. Going back together on the weekend with chevy parts.

really not that bad to do at all.
