i went through this whole post looking for some installation pics did see any! how are the ball joints holding up? im sick of changing ball joints every year!

scott, did u put the key and shackle lift on your blazer? or r u running stock? my ball joints are totally fine. everything has been good.

everything's stock always has been. my dad bought this truck then i bought it off of him and ball joints have always been an issue with this truck. everything greased every oil change i get about a year maybe year and a half out of them. everyone iv talked to said its a pretty common thing on these s10 blazers

Nice build, that lift looks sweet!

Out of curiosity, any of you guys that installed the kit have to modify the exhaust after lowing the front diff? I'm out of ideas on making my own diff drop bracket that doesn't require cutting it...and the new control arms and ball joints would be nice since I need them anyway (ball joints are popping at the moment)...so I guess I might break down and get the kit even though I don't need the shocks or the shackles. Is there anything else that you would suggest to help in the installation and/or pre or post installation prep/inspection? Thanks

For all those that have this lift installed can you please snap a pic of your cv axles and say what ur height is please. Mine dont look good at 22" but i also havent finished the rear or driven it. Due to a recent injury ive only been able to do bits at a time. Thanks!

Ho much did the diff drop lower the differential? This is what im ultimately curious on

Im not too sure how much it dropped the diff. i didnt take any b4 pics:icon_doh: but i have pics while doing it. what i can tell you tho is the flat case halfs of the diff are now level with the front bottom frame, if i were to guess id say 3/4"-1".

Post the during pics lol. I wish it was a little lower to straighten out the axles more though. Can you post a pic of how the truck sits and a pic of the angles of them please?

i will get some pics up of it tomorrow.
