Ill take some pics and get then up. I might take some of before the shock and AAL fitting and then some after but might be a while before i get around to getting some new tyres on it as ive got my hot rod drag car to rebuild. Ive seen a flowmasters 44 on the for sale section i was interested in but i cant post on there for some reason, so dont know if he would post to UK. If he would of and postage was reasonable id of bought it then id have a sweet sounding truck !!

I only cruise at 2000rpm so should be ok but will sound nice when hitting the throttle pedal then
I used to have a Jago Jeep with a 5ltr rover v8 and nos then put a supercharged BBC 468ci but was getting a bit silly so bought a ford pop 1956 and built it part up with my BBC and TH400 box now have decided i want a roll tube chassis and cage with CDS tube. Sure you understand it aint going to be cheap.
If you go onto youtube and type my user name in (jeepy22) and you will see my jeep running. Ive wondered a few time what my blazer would go like with the blown BBC in it but its my daily driver so couldnt afford to run it

Yep i agree. It sound good when reving up but when dropping down the revs its not my cup of tea !! I wonder how loud it actually is with the cat off and if we can get away with it in the UK or not !!

Just realised ive got 2 accounts on here lol. This one is from 2008 when i first started looking into getting a blazer and the 2nd one is from a few months ago when i got this one i now own. The only difference if the gap between v8 and jago. :O
Well ive put my AAL on and replaced all 4 shocks and the rear has lifted up around 4" because the leaf spring was that badly worn. Ive crancked my TBs up to around 3/4 turn from full but it hasnt give me a great deal of lift. Can they ware and not lify as far with age ? And my rear is about 2 or 3" higher than the front. Can anyone recomend how i can get the front a bit higher without it costing me a shed full of money.
My aim is to get some 30" high tyres on or if i can get them to fit some 31x10.5x15. With they fit width wise on standard wheels or not. What tyres would anyone recomend that grip well on normal road driving wet and dry but look chunky. Cheers.
