General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

welcome to the show.

you do realize that the t-bar crank/shackles are really cheap to do. eBay has shackles for $30 to $50.

you can even make the shackles yourself, and crank the t-bar bolts 6 or 7 times (try not to top 1.5 to 1.75 inches-excessive CV wear can happen other wise).

If you can, you should do the suspension lift, the ball joint and bearing at the same time. This way you will only need to do the alignment once.

You dont need an alignment after replacing ball joints or bearings.

I'd recommend General Altimax RT's for tires if you're on a budget, paid $212 for a pair including installation and everything
