Blazer looks cool n how much trimming did u have to do to fit the 32" tires. More pics plz.

Sadly, I dont have many build pictures. but can take pictures of the fender trim. I cut about an inch out, I left enough so I could bend/roll it over to look like a factory bend. turned out pretty good. I ended up having a space between the fender well and the rolled edge because the fender well didnt reach. but I will probably put a mud flap inbetween and go down, that way nuthin will get in there and it will tuck the mud flap in there nice. Will get pictures up once I can, I am at work now and might not be going home tonight. I am planning on putting 33" tires, I have the tires already just will ware out the 32" ones first cause they came on the rims. I found another rim that is the same so one of the 33's will be getting put on the rim and put on the back tire rack.

Ok as I have read this entire thread it didn't answer what I was looking for. So my questions is when u install the lift and crank the bolts all the way u will get negative camber and wear ur inside of the tires fast on stock control arms. What I wanna know is the rc upper control arms longer then the oem to adjust this problem with a set of camber bolts? Or is there other ways

i dont know if they are longer but i know that the ball joints are angled so alignment is possible. i didnt need any special camber bolts just used the stock ones and took it in to get aligned.

Any one got pics of this lift on a first gen?

Ya so u were able to get the camber corrected enough for the upper control arms and stock cam bolts cuz mines off a lot from the lift I did. I reoplaced all balljoints and got pro comp es9000 shocks and got cv shafts on order

one thing you could do is relocate the the upper ball joints from sitting on top of the control arm to the bottom of the upper control. this will help correct the angle of the ball joints and help with alignment issues as well. just something to think about if you dont wanna drop the cash on the lift. few guys on here have done this mod with great success.

^also look into adding a BJ spacer
balljoint spacers

i cant decide between ordering this RC kit or cranking my tbars and doing the BJ flip with spacer, i have 2" shackles sitting in the garage and new shocks on the rear already...

I have the Rough Country Lift on my blazer, i installed it myself and had no troubles with cutting the diff, they give you a pretty decent template

were you able to do this without a lift? i am looking to do the install at my house but nervous about pullling the diff...

After reading this and also i need new shocks, shackles and upper control arms. I decided to get this lift since buying those parts will be close to the price of the lift. My concerned is the dropping brackets. Does any one know how much they actually drop the diff?

Well i work at a shop and i was able to do the install there on a lift on the weekend. but it is do able with out a lift. The only trouble i had was getting the right angle on the diff to drop it after it was completly un bolted. And it went back in just fine. So it is do able with out a lift but having the lift make it easier

bought the lift yesterday. Start collecting parts i guess. anyone can help me with a list of possible replacement parts to get while doing the lift. I know i will need new bushings for the leaf springs, gasket maker to repair the front diff?.... anything else i should be looking into and having on hand?

already have the 1ton idler arm kit wiating to go on, really thinking about the hd tie rods and the bravada axle tubes from synergy offroad.

Any idea how long the front shocks are? I would imagine around 18 inches extended. I'm ordering a lift but I'm gonna run fox shocks.

any tips on removing the front differential the cvs are disconected and all the bolts are out i just cant remove the loose differential from the veichle

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned for all of us that have to get the upper ball joints replaced but if you have to get ahold of them you must have pics of the top of the upper ball joints & the stamp # that's on them.
"On the web page there's a link on the side midway down".

Rotti, Are your upper ball joints worn out already? And when can I have a look at this lift installed?

Yeah, I thought since they had many if not every kit have issues with the UBJ's mine would be ok.
Guess not.
In my Bucket there are pics of the installation. I don't think I have any recent/after the install.
Oh blaz as in Jarads friend?
When I can get to Lorette!

Lorette? who's in lorette? lol he's in the peg

I thought they were supposed to be contacting everyone that got the bad batch of balljoints? Did they give up on that and are making the cusomers initiate that now?

I got my kit from them in April & hadn't heard anything from them.
I read on here that they sent out new UBJ's to the people that called in with a complaint. When I called he said to take pics, write down the # of the UBJ & they'll send me new upper control arms.

Sorry, I meant Niverville.

Yup, that is me. I have almost pulled the trigger on this lift a few times now. :icon_deadhorse:

I just need to lift the front an inch or so to match the rear. I just didn't want to put in parts that haven't been fully tested yet.

How are the parts holding up?

Idler arm twice. I now have a 1 ton. Other than that no issues.

Steering stabilizer location and question
 

I have the rough country 2.5 inch lift and want to put a steering stabilizer on my truck is this the brackets required to put it on and do I need to do any fabrication? Sorry for crappy picture

I think thats where the stabalizer mounts to. Be careful though, I installed the RC stabalizer and maybe I didnt install it correctly, but over time it rubbed a gash in my oil pan. After I sold the truck unknowlingly, the guy had to replace the oil pan due to the stabalizer. Disregard my spelling errors and run on sentences, been a long day lol

-OSS

Okay thank you very much! Is there anything I need to do to avoid installing it incorrectly? Does it come with a general lay out on paper with how to install like the lifts do or is it just here Ya go wing it type of thing?

It comes with instructions. I also did a how-to write up on here, link is in my sig.
