any issues putting those hooks on? ive got 2 sets laying around the house from my old silverado and i think thats an awesome idea. ..............


well i got my solar charger mounted to my dash just using doublesided tape........... and i noticed that my battery connection was loose.......and tightned it (this was on wed....) and now it starts the first turn everytime. out of everything i went over i cant believe i missed that. it was -10 here about a week ago and i tought it was the cold killing me but it 2degrees a coupla days ago and it started the first try. it hasnt started on the first try since the day ive had unless it was already running less than an hour before.

I run 6mm (didnt have to swap out studs or anything) you need more on the rear to even the stance out though. I just got mine off ebay

I run 1.25" on the front and 2" on the rear. its pretty damn close and with a stock blazer you will stand out. It will make your tires stick out. I don't know how much with a regular blazer but my front stick out about 3/4 inch and the back about an 1/8 less.
