Just signed up and figured I would say Hi here! I just got my wife a new car and traded in my F-150 for it. Now I get her 98 Chevy Blazer with 75,000 miles on it. It needs some work, but is good enough now for my daily driver. I have to get a new seloniod for the 4 wheel drive transfer system, but that can wait. First thing is first and that is to get this thing a more comfortable ride. You feel every bump and dip right now. I put new shocks on it less than a year ago, so now I am thinking of working with front and rear sway bars to see if that will help and possibly changing front springs.

 

[sm=welcomesign.gif]to the Forum. The Blazers are sprung pretty stiffly, so if you put on new shocks recently (unless you put on super hard off-road ones) I doubt that will make much difference. Also, if it's a 4WD, you don't have front springs, you have torsion bars.

Thanks for the welcome all!

Some way has to exist to smooth out the ride, reduce body roll, and make it stick to the road a little better? I'll have to start searching the suspension section and see what other people have done!

 

Well, when you replaced the front shocks, what type did you install? Also, do you know if the truck is still at stock height or did the previous owner give it a suspension lift? These factors can make a difference in the ride quality.

 

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you!!
