How much lift do you have there? Looks just right.

I drove my K5 for the first time in quite a while yesterday! LOL. It has been basically sitting all winter because it sucks on the road in the snow. Offroad in snow, it is an animal, but the 12.5" wide tires just have too much surface area to get good traction on snow covered roads.

I been working on my 91 blazer fixing it up to get inspected and tagged.

Today i changed out the inner and outer tierod ends all 4 balljoints, installed a quick boot on the drivers inner cv axle (pain in my ***) nvr use quick boot!! unless u must.

I grinned down the bottom of all 4 doors removed rust and bondo, filled in holes, sanded and painted them.

Changed the grill to a billet grill and crome light rings, installed my conversion headlights with BiXenon HID.



Tomorrow I tackle the front alignment. and minor electrical work

Today, my brother and I started the installation of a 4" lift that a buddy of mine took off of his S-10 pick up, only to find that all of the parts were not there (i.e. - drop pitman arm and idler arm) after spending all day removing the factory torsion bars. At this point, I think it's time to put everything back together and count my losses. I am not willing to "jerry-rig" this lift just to MAKE it work on my Blazer. After more inspection, I believe this lift was for an earlier model S-10/Blazer. Now I will just save up for a body lift until I can afford a new suspension lift in the future.

Since the weather was so nice today, I painted the bowtie black.
