Pennsylvania OFF ROADING
 

Hey all u Pennsylvania ppl lol. it going to rain 3 time this week so who up for some offroading fun this weekend I am here in larksville so if u are up for some fun with they blazer let me know later all

larksville is a little far for me. you have any good places to go?

ur a few week late lol and yes i do have a good place to go but cant now i blow my shocks out waiting for my new Bilstein to come in

ah that is cool. I'm looking for some new places to go I'm bored of the places I go

im in for some wheeling... im in PA near King of Prussia...

hmm well king of prussia is probably a little more than an hour from where I'm at

yup everone live far away from me

how big of a town is larksville?

it a very very small town

well.. id be down to take a trip for some mud...need to break in my new tires anyways.. are you headed to the meet this weekend?

I wish...

i have a question - you cranked your tbars... the place i took my 4dr to get aligned said that if i did that it would throw my alignment off too much?? im looking to get about 2 inches more of lift... all i am running is the PA 2" body lift...

any suggestions... AAL in the rear? or there any places i can just get brand new leafs with one already added in.. also do i need to buy new Torsion Keys??? and if so what would you recommend.

the easiest way to lift the rear is to get longer shackles. I have my tbars cranked around 2 inches and I've gotten an alignment no problem. the only thing you will have to worry about is your front end working parts wearing out. I had to replace my wheel hubs so far.

why would this cause extra strain on the wheel hubs? i dont really need to lift the rear... im looking for about 1.5 to 2" more in the front... im fitting 31.5" tires right now and i just looked under the truck lastnite and the bolt on my keys are sticking all the way out... i think i could get the clearance im looking for if i crank them....

is that all you do is tighten the bolt that is sticking out... sorry i know i could search but i feel its faster to just ask you...

Yes, all you have to do is crank the bolts -- but it is recommended that you mark it before you start, so that if you ever have to readjust or take it back down, you'll know where it was before.

The main thing that gets stressed by the torsion bar crank is the ball joints. If you've never replaced them, I'd suggest just replacing them ASAP once you do the turn. Please understand that when Blazer ball joints break, you DO NOT WANT to be driving on the highway. This is the voice of experience, of one who was nearly killed when this happened! If I'm scaring you, then GOOD! This is one part that should be replaced BEFORE it breaks. And afterwards, you should always check them periodically. If there is ever any up and down play in the wheels, it's time to replace them.

And I had rear shackles on my Blazer. You can get them here. The site is run by a BF member. And I will be in PA this weekend. Hope to see ya there. I will be driving the dark grey Silverado.
