Now you specify, LOL. You could make a bracket kit to drop everything, but that would be sucky to make......though i have ideas on how it would work.......hmmm, might even be able to do it cheaply if i make it simple in design and use existing stuff.......if i ever get some time and a blazer that i can tear into without worry of breaking it i may try something with my dad. But for Dale SFA FTW!!!!

I've got an iron front diff, so SFA isn't that big of an issue for me...

Besides, where I go, lockers will get me farther than lift will... especially on my budget, lol

I got an iron front diff too but im just not tall enough to get over the big stuff, or even some of the smaller stuff(Dale is gonna be a dual purpose mudder/rock crawler when im done with him). Plus when i get SFA, lockers wont be far behind, that is if i dont get them with lockers already installed.

The Bolt Mobile will probably get some sort of major lift when it's not my DD anymore, lol.

A SOA conversion in the back will give you ~4" of lift alone. Adding longer shackles will increase that number.

so if i do soa conversion and crank the t-bars 1.25 to 1.50 will i be able to fit 31 10.5 with a lil trimming?

*Combining Consecutive Posts*

will anything in the drive line need to be changed or modified? also what can i do other than the t-bar crank to level front with rear soa conversion?
