Suspension Modifications:
The stock torsion bar set-up felt very spongy, it had a floating boat feel to it. So I installed coil-over shocks in the rear and then hunted for front coil-overs, but had No luck finding coil-over shocks that were made for the front of the 2003 4x4 Blazers. I ended up taking measurements and then modified a pair of adjustable coil-over shocks that were made to fit on the rear of a VW Baja Bug. After drilling out the diameter of the top and bottom shock mount sleeves, I was successful at adapting them to work on the front without any contact with the axles or axle boots.
