Got em on ebay, forgot the brand. Well built, thick mounting bracket. They even honed out inside the collector and block mount section. fit well, plug area a little close but think I solved it. drove it quite a bit now and nothing melting. I`ll look for the brand I got

wasnt ebay, it was amazon

In with the new, I,ve since added more heat wrap, worried about wires burning.

Man I like those headers..I know headers made a difference overall.How much did they cost?You`ve made a smart investement with both headers and flowmasters.At least you have more wiggle room compared to my 2001.

Hi Bill
Doing the Same thing for my Son's "new" 02 ZR-2 Blazer, swapping out from his 03 ZR-2 S-10 Pickup, The Rock Crawler Tires/ Wheels.

I see you removed the Front Fender Flair extensions with Changing to the Winch Bumper but you mentioned Trimming to fit the Extra Backspacing of the Wheels.

I had to do this on his Pickup, will a 2" Lift Clear these Style Rims ?

It's his College Truck, not like I want to sink $ 2,000.00+ on a lift kit only to have him do something Stupid like run over the Gas pump Pipe protector thing.

Just looking at getting the Tires to Clear.

Your Truck looks great too !
Thanks
Timmy

Very nice. Cheapest route to clearing some bigger tires are ebay 2 inch lift shackles and cranking up the torsion bars a very little. !.5 inches the most.
