Welcome to the forum! Is that a Wings West side skirt kit? Where'd the rest of your front valance go?

Hey Mike, I like the body kit. Might look good on my black LS. Problem of course is getting it sent from the US. Freight charges make any mods very costly.

ha a minitrucker i am good to see another bagged blazer mines goin in the shop next week to get bagged took the air ride out of my old s-10 pickup

lowered trucks and the roads in MA dont go together well i do have a new front valance on no pics of it installed yet i have a new hood on the way also it is a wings west kit dont know how much longer it wil be on the truck it most likely will hit the ground when the bags are in so i may take it off and sell it

kiwi i would love to get my hands on a right hand drive 2wd blazer i mayend up doing the conversion to my truck one day if i can find a dash cheap enough the rest of the parts are easy enough to get

What do you mean by "bagged"?

All used chevys here come from Japan and as yet I've not come across either a 2wheel drive model or the 2 door version.

"Bagged" refers to a suspension setup similar to hydraulics. It replaces the coil/leaf springs with air bags (like those found on tractor trailers) which makes the suspension adustable. This allows for the vehicle to sit extremely low, sometimes so low that the body touches the ground (called laying frame/laying rocker). Of course while driving the bags are inflated to a comfortable height. On the other hand, it's popular to drag now, too.

Here's a video on Youtube that shows both bagged and dragged trucks pretty well. You may want to turn the music down as it's on the brazen side.
