I'm hoping it settles a bit. I don't think I got a full 3" drop out of the front. I was in a hurry and didn't measure before and after. The problem is now, drop spindles for a 98+ 2wd Blazer are over $300 that I don't have money for now. If anything I'll just buy some 2" blocks for less than $50 and raise the rear up an inch so it doesn't look bad.

those HL's & signal lenses are smokin'! where'd you find them? and does your truck have the factory fogs? looks like it does, 'cause those would look nice on my Blazer.
don't be adding a little in the rear to level it out! check to see if the coils are settled into their pockets correctly first.
and whose spindles are you looking @, Belltech? we put 3" Streetmaster (or was it Streetscene?) drop spindles on my brother's Summer Dime in '98, still runs (drives) great. look around, 'cause there are quite a few other companies out there that aren't over priced, and actually have good product.

The headlights are Sonar brand off Ebay. The turn signals are APC's off Ebay and no I don't have fogs. That's just what crystal clear lenses look like with nothing in the inner spot. The springs are in the right spot, I made sure they were seated correctly. It's the third truck I've dropped with springs. The spindles for the 98+ 2wd Blazers are unique to the Blazer due to the dual piston brake. Belltech is the only company that makes dropped spindles for them and that's why they're over $300 for a pair.

Problem being that this is my third vehicle and the first 2 were 4 banger cars... i always refer to my blazer as a truck but for some reason it slips my mind and i feel dumber every time haha

No, no spot for fogs. It's just sealed empty space. It is open to the turn signal side so you couldn't just stick a fog bulb in either.

Took the mudflaps off about 2 days after I took those pictures. I was in a hurry to get the wheels on and didn't think about taking them off at the time. Front valance is a 94-97 with no holes for the license plate I got off ebay for about $45 shipped. I had to drill holes to line up with the holes in the bumper. I don't have any pics yet, but I ordered and installed 1.5" spacers on the rear so it looks better and sits close to the outer fender.

ok, well your truck is giving me a visualization of what i have been thinking of doing for a while now. i'm planning on similar with some alterations. obviously they'll look similar because there aren't that many choices for parts on our trucks but w/e feel honored i guess that i'm "based" off of yours
