Default Hi from Scotland, UK

Hello everyone
Just bought my first Blazer - a 1999 4.3 LT in black with black leather. The best combo if you ask me.....
Done 83k miles.
I want to lift the body a few inches, but would like to make the required parts myself.....

I'm sure I will be needing all of your expertise in the near future.
a few pics..



Cheers,
Rudy

Hi V8Jago

That'll be a NO on the interior swap
My rear shocks has been replaced recently but I do have a bit of a boat feel at the front. Do you happen to know where I can get front shocks in the UK?

If you look on Ebay there is a few pair of Gabrial shcks on there for £69 per pair. If your looking at lifting it then i would look at somewhere in the US. Ive just got some BDS shocks that will work on upto a 3" lift which is more than enough for me. Im just wanting enough clearance to get some 31x10.5x15 s on my truck. It cost me around £160 x4 shocks £80 x2 AAL and £120 postage and around £80 import dutys. Im happy now they have just arrived and ill be cracking on and getting them fitted
