It is when the engine's out.

Couldn't do it with my setup - I've got a 2nd gen Vortec with the aluminum pan in a 1st gen Blazer. My only option was to yank the engine a second time. While it was out, I did head gaskets, timing cover gaskets & crank seal, new timing set, valve seals, oil pump, and rear main.

Not so much just for the Blazer but for what I like to do with my Blazer and my wifes Envoy XL. I joined the Long Island Beach Buggy Association.

Got nothing done to the Jimmy. I wish I could take a angle grinder to the yard to cut out some floor boards... "if it doesnt unbolt, you cant take it" Hate that rule.

Cleaned and waxed the outside of my Envoy and Armor all'd the inside of it. Turned out pretty good: Sorry for the bad quality my phone sucks

Just fitted 2 new Timken front hub/bearing assemblies this morning as one of them was very noisy.
Went for short drive & what a difference! Not only has the noise gone but a slight vibration i've had for a long time has also gone, I always put that down to maybe a bit of wear in the main axleshaft - or maybe front CV axles but it obviously must have been the hubs. Feels a completely different vehicle to drive now!

Shackles are a nightmare but a cut off saw helps.

What I took off


Installed used the 1 inch of lift hole
Blacked out some rust, I will fix soon



3 inches in the back, 2 in the front. Body lift this summer
