No but I didn't have it lowered for very long. Plus mine only had maybe 100,000 miles on it at the time and had been babied by the previous owner so that may have played a part.

i don't know, maybe because i know it's 4WD...........maybe it's just the tires...........i don't know....it just doesn't look quite right-not that it looks bad or anything.

can you understand what i'm saying?

maybe it's just the rubber-'cause i'm giving major props on the wheels.

'cause i think taba5's Bravada looks killer, but he did change/paint the wheels on his truck.



maybe i just shoulda kept my mouth shut on this one................

The blazer has 200,000 on the body so i'm thinking it needed ujoints bc of that fact. ......


yea the wheels 235/75/r15 so they are the kind of bigger tires and also the rims are old school 4x4 seems like since i dropped it the front tires poke out further i'm sure someone on here can say why..

and i get plenty of **** for lowering a 4x4 "defeats the purpose" and all that bull****.

So, what are you lookng at as far as wheel well clearance, it looks nice btw, but it doesn't seem that low, I guess I'm used to mini trucks when we say lowered that's what I think of...Cool though !!! If I drop mine it might have to be 4", wonder if it will affect the steering with a 17" wheel/tire combo ??
wdyt ???

So, you took the torsion bolts right out ???? Doesn't really sound safe, but if it works, it works....

btw CBAnyone....I think the front wheels stick out because you've lost the camber geometry......

if you put bolts back in, raise it about half an inch it will firm up on you. without tension on the torsion bars you will be soft
