Lifting 2" Progress journal
#42
sorry you guys
I've been so overwhelmed...
DISASTER!
after 3 days of having the lift, yesterday I noticed axel grease all over the inside of the wheel well and a arms on my passenger side.
I thought I busted a cv, but nope.
Pretty sure I blew a gasket
no cuts or tears in the joints or boots.
driver side is fine though.
SO I lowered the bolts down. Basically I have a reverse prerunner blazer
:/
Scared me so badly...and killed all my optism.
well anybody have any ideas on what it could be? gonna pull out the axle possibly.
LOL, and in my time of problems.
I want more than the measly 2 inch lift.
So I want to throw a 2 inch body lift on.
would this fit 32s?

Ah yes! The ol 2" lift S-series CV axle swap game! Yep, many of us are VERY good at it now. I actually have a thread about this...https://blazerforum.com/forum/lifting-tech-44/2%22-suspension-lift-gremlins-26616/
I personally recommend Cardone CV shafts.
32"s are gonna rub too much... Stick with 31"s and you should be fine.

I did that also!
Take your old cv clamps off.
Pull back your boot if it doesn't have any holes in it you can reuse it.
Clean out as much grease as you can and then use 1 packet of cv grease per side.
Then close it back up using 2 4-5 inch hose clamps replace your cv clamps.
I only had my t-bars cranked 1 1/4 and my boots came off and I almost ran them dry and still saved them.
Hope that helps.

GOT THE TIRES AND INSTALLED THEM 
Goodyear Duratracs
31x10.50x15

These things don't rub!!! wow.
The 2 inch lift helped.
BUT...if i go over a steep bump, say drive way, while turning. The front rub.
So, I had the extra $. So i ordered a body lift.(gonna need to paint the frame)
Well here she is. I love the look, and the tires are a dream...

I'm Detailing it tomorrow, so new pics once again.
THanks

Looks awesome man. I was gonna say, the tires look to be real close to the rear openings on the front fenders. The BL is gonna look sick!
