Hey, looks real good. The guys and gals here do a pretty good job of offering advice and steering in the right direction on mods. So far they have picked my tire size and muffler. You gonna keep your other wheels and tires as a back-up or summer wheels? If I could ask you one (or two) questions.

A: Do you have any problems legally, (cops or inspection), with the turndown exhaust?
Noticed you didn't have the tailpipes, thinking about doing the same.

B: Any problems with smells or discoloring underneath your rig? Agian, I like it. That should've been a package on the blazers (besides ZR2 of cource).

why would it be a legal issue? it's not like he's running around with the whole back of his truck cut out (like another member on here).

and a word of advice, if you do plan on doing turn downs, angle it to the outside of your truck slightly (like 30 to 45 degrees). this will help with any extra interior noise, plus discourage any possible exhaust gases from coming into/towards the interior compartment (which i guess was what you were getting at?)

Very nice!! It turned out awesome. Not bad prices on the lifts either. I don't think I've seen a BL kit that cheap before.
Any issues with rubbing having the 31's on there? I'm assuming not with close to 4" of lift..but I'm curious. I'd like to squeeze 31's on my truck with shackles.

[QUOTE=old skool luvr;290481]why would it be a legal issue?


Well in some states (I.E.; WV) State Inspection requires "Exhaust on a suv or truck to exit outside the body lines behind the rear wheels." Making it illegal here. I was wondering if it was illegal there, and if so, do cops enforce it. Cops here don't care about much, but still just curious. I think I figured out a way to get around inspection, but rain has delayed my creativity untill next weekend. I planned on turning it some so the drone doesn't rattle my brain at highways speed, (But I'm doing this to make it louder, picky picky me .)

So RebelJimmy, when are you gonna make like Brad Paisley and get a little mud on the tires?...

no rub unless at full lock and that is a light frame rub,

and i ran around the Philadelphia region of PA with open headers for about a month and a half and got stopped by the cops for trespassing (only time i got stopped and i dove by cops all the time), i let my car run and the cops were like "this thing sounds sick, whats it got in it?" and they were stunned when i said "nope v6" and then they said "wish my v6 sounded this nice" and left while giving me a citation for trespassing haha

RebelJimmy, lookin foreward to some pics!...

I just read up on the modified inspection sticker rules in WV. They are F****** insane. If you have 3 sizes over stock, sus lift OR body lift 3 inches or more, you fall under that listing. They dictate how many turns your steering should be lock to lock, all kinds of insanity. Love WV but HATE inspections. I'm thinking the turndown is out now.
