Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

I think the stance looks perfect when you lowered it to 2".
Not sure if I missed it but, what size tires and rims are you running?
Thanks for the kind words, I bought the Jimmy with a blown 350 so I did not do the paint. ( I would like to know what it is because if need to touch up a spot).
The truck is rust free but the quarters are a little wavy, the PO put in a Silverado gas door and got a lot of warpage. But it's a good driver and from 15 feet looks good. I put in a Junk yard 2001 5.3 to fix the engine issue.
The running gear is from a 89 Suburban 2500. I kept the existing 700R.

The rims are late model 2009 the tire size 285-70-17 (33.2) The large offset of the rims help tuck the tires back under the body. The Jimmy came with 22x10" rims.

Love your quote by the way, It is one of the reasons the US is in the state that it is in. "The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten." We have forgotten that we can build it here.
