Front bumper and suspension questions
 

Hey yall just bought a 2000 chevy blazer 4 door and I'm looking for a heavy duty bumper to put on the front. I was gonna install the wern trans4mer but after contact with wern I was told that they do not build a bumper for the body style any more. I want something more along the brush guard style. Also I am wanting to install taller shackles and add a leaf in the rear. Where is the best place to get those.

For a front bumper, you'll have to do do a google search for "s10 blazer bumper" with the words like "winch" and "bushguard". There are fewer vendors out there than there use to be but you can find them.

Similar for the shackles. If you want a full lift kit, Rough Country has one.

My front end setup is a 2 part "combo", consisting of a 4wdfactory winch mount (which I don't even see listed on their web side any more unfortunately...) that keeps the winch tucked in and gives a pair of D-ring mounts, and a generic brush guard around it for basically the look and if gives me a good place for a 24" LED bar for lighting up winch jobs at night :D

Built this front bumper for my 96 s10

Since we're showing off our home-built bumpers...

Tom I can't get enough of your truck! I'm going to go for the same look when I get my axles. As far as bumpers go here is mine. Still not done yet.

Yours is looking great. That bumper looks super tough.

Looking forward to your SAS build thread. 👍

I just finished building mine yesterday

Looks good. I like the slot in the middle. I don't think I've seen one like that before.

what size tires??

I don't suppose you would like to share your build plans? That is probably the best bumper I have seen on a ZR2!

Thanks, but I can't take full credit for it because I totally cheated. I hacked up an old full-size Chevy bumper and combined it with some other parts, then made the grille hoop for it. So it really isn't from scratch (though it barely resembles what it came from).

Ive heard of people buying jk and yj bumpers and creating mounts for them

I had a rear tube bumper at one point off a Wrangler that I snagged from a salvage yard that I planned to do just that with. Thought it would look neat on the front of the Blazer.

Ended up going a different route as you can see above lol

It looked very similar to this bumper, minus the tire carrier, and it was a little taller I believe.

Might have been this one from Rugged Ridge...

I like that second one. Rugged ridge is very price friendly
