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.

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
