Not so much to the Blazer but for the Blazer. About a week or so ago I picked up my 4x4 beach access permit for my Blazer and today I picked one up for my wifes Envoy. Now when the season opens up e are both all set.

Haha I have done mine so many times I can do it in 35 minutes from putting the jack under it to having it back on all 4 wheels! It kinda makes me sick that I'm that familiar with it lol!

saw that post, it wasn't any help. haha. i tried two compressors, neither work. to get the control arm back in place with a new spring, i hooked up the ball joint, put the spring in place and put jack stands to hold it up. slowly lowered the truck and when it stopped going down, i slowly jacked the back of the control up and used a ratchet strap to line up the bolt holes. that did the trick!

SO! TODAY! i put the new control arm, spring, and shock in the driver side, as the passenger was already installed. i got about 2-3 inches of extra ride height!!!!! and i also got my hardwire kit for my iRad radar detector. got that installed. also cleaned my ABS sensor for the driver side bc the guy i let do it last time, took it off instead of the hub and got the sensor greasey and that brake would jump when pressed at a low speed. got it cleaned and reinstalled, when i went for the test drive, no jumping brakes! whooooo!!! all excited! now! i need to see why my entire tie rod assembly moves. tie rod ends look okay, and don't move when shook. gonna replace em anyway when i can. any ideas on the entire assembly moving? someone said it could be the pitman arm or idler arm. don't remember which. someone also told me it could be my steering box. as i have about 2 inches of play in the steering wheel before my wheel turn either way....

Not as much as I would like. Remote filter lines were leaking , the rear bolt is a nightmare. I did a search and the nightmare became worse, have to raise the motor up in the morning.
