I have never towed a trailer on my own vehicle in my life and don't intend to start now. I would take the ball off... but I don't have a wrench big enough.

Stock tire size on ZR2's are 31x10.5, so it's all stock, haha.

Well... I tore apart the whole front suspension. Replaced all the control arm bushings, upper/lower ball joints, drivers CV axle(pass got changed last year), all new tierods, adjuster sleeves, drag link, idler arm, pitman arm, sway bar bushings, and sway bar end links. Only to find out when I got it aligned that the steering gearbox is wore out also. 204,000 miles does that I guess.
I also buffed it with polishing compund to get some of the small scratches out. Tomorrow I'll wax it and shampoo the carpet.
I replaced my oil filter relocator lines and oil cooler line. And degreased everything from the years of leaking oil and dirt from the bottom of my blazer.
And lastly... I replaced my stationary rear quarter glass... Some punk kids went around town last week busting out windows... I'd like to find them an bust there ballz!

I tried to find new gas shocks for the drop gate (tailgate). Which proved extremely difficult. No one had a number for them or could find it in a catalogue. GM could but they wanted $81 a piece for some 9" shocks. I bought some for the glass at Canadian tire for $30 a piece with lifetime warranty. They don't carry this small though.
