Carrico's Build (98 blazer 4dr)
got my shock hoops in, damn they are huge! I am running skyjacker hydro 13'' shocks in the back not sure what in the front yet as the hoops aren't welded.
Also bought about 20' of 2" tubing for a engine crossmember, rocksliders and to help stiffen up the front/bumper, also got 21' of dom tubing for steering and bumpers as well. Bumpers will happen later though as i need a bender. But I should have my TREs and inserts by the end of today so that should be done by the end of the week hopefully

Rear shocks/hoops mounted. steering is done with 1ton tres from 4wdfacotry and .250dom tubing also using an astro van steering box with the astro van pitman arm redrilled.
Next is exhaust and front drive shaft. Also believe that the front axle isn't locking right.

dont expect much of updates till janurary or so, I am going to wait till than to buy the rest of the stuff.
I am working on rocksliders at the time being, engine xmember, and other misc stuff, so no new updates.
Would anyone be able to explain in more detail manual locking hubs. From what I can understand, *unlocked, witht the pinion turning by hand, the wheels will NOT turn, with *locked, pinion turned by hand/driveshaft the wheels would turn. correct? I may have answered my own question, but id rather have benefit of the doubt and what not...dont want to go w/o 4wheel drive again :/

Picked up some 38.5/14.5/15r tsx superswampers and some 8 lug 15s with a 4" or 3.75" backspacing *cant really tell for sure* tires are about 40-50% tread or so. Got them all for the low price of 300$ 
I will show how the 15s fit as well, the rear caliper needs just a touch smoothed out and the front caliper bracket will need to be ground down. Progress other wise is slow, seems like i have more expense now for some reason, other than a new german shepherd puppy. *also exhaust never got done*
