I guess I could have taken pics of the a-arms sidebyside, but I didnt think about it at the time, I'll try to do that today.

its probably pretty stiff. Also I would consider getting different shocks and trash the rough countries. Mine lasted about 6 months and they were completely shot

I like the ride much better than before, mine needed alittle stiffing up, it was to mushy before the lift. I have the new improved A-arms/ball joints installed and alignment done. still running the 31's, wife said I was spending to much just before christmas, so I guess other things will wait for a bit. This blazer I've owned for a few years and ran it stock, I sold it to my daughter and she had it for about 2 weeks and ran into the back of a full sized pickup and totaled it. I bought it back from the insurance co. and started a rebuild process of the front of the vehicle. So my goal is to make it into a better off road vehicle.

Right on man! Do you ever notice a clunk as if the extension of the suspension is hitting up front ever at around 45mph while hitting a bump?
