Dang, are those Jeep rims? Those look DOPE! I always wondered what they looked like on a Blazer... and I just sold the four I had. But nice trade. Show us more pictures!

They are Jeep rims. It's got Jeep front and rear axles. I'd like to find something different, maybe with a bigger offset. I think for spring/summer, I'd like to get a 32/10.5/15 tire. Not sure what brand yet, something aggressive.

And as of right now, that's the only pic I have. Working 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, my truck sits at work all week. I plan on doing some work this weekend, I ordered some stereo stuff, I'd like to get that put in and get it cleaned up, it's filthy. I'll take some pics once she's washed a and looking purdy.

I was looking at my first introduction, I was talking about wanting a white, blue, or black Blazer with cloth interior, this one is white with tan cloth interior. Just what I wanted. I'm going to do some suspension work to it next weekend, then it's off for an alignment. I need to relocate the leaf springs on top of the front axle and install the new Bilstein struts that are in the back. Should have some fun with this truck.

To this



When I first got it, the leaf springs were underneath the leaf springs. A buddy of mine said, if it were him, he'd flip the leafs and put them on top of the drive line, so we did. It raised the front quite a bit. Here is a pic after the front was done, the rear was still the height it was when I got it.

Here is a side by side comparison of the new vs. old suspension.

Found out that ALL the shackle bushings are shot, I headed back to town to get new ones, NO one in this town had anything. So, internet, here we come

I agree. The 31s just aren't quite big enough. I'm thinking 32s or 33s.

Took a few pics last night for the heck of it.

This was at the local WalMart, found a stock Blazer, wanted to do a side by side comparison.
