They treat me pretty good, do there job, and dwarf the tires on my girlfriends Jeep. Trust me, taking things apart on Blazers takes MUCH longer than putting them back together. Thanks for the comment on my Jimmy. =] I had the same dilemma about raising the rear bumper because I though it would look like crap to have the hitch look like it is just chillin there not attached to anything. lol

I didn't have to either. Did your kit come with new hoses to put in?

On my friends s10 it took a lot of Liquid Wrench and a lot of muscle. We sprayed it quite a bit and used some vice grips to get it off.

took me almost 5hrs, but i got the bolt out. everything is finished and is ready to go. man, i am glad this ordeal is over. now that thats down, i need to get some new tires, 31's are way to small now, 33's would look so much better

awesome, glad to hear it.

is that all you have is a body lift? just wondering because, you have a lot more work to do if you want to run 33's, or 32's if thats the case.
