Re: the slowest (build) blazer

So now we've come to present day and the new wheels and tires. Coy c5's bought on sale. I saved enough to buy a fifth wheel so I would have a matching spare. Had to get the front rotors machined to clear the caps but other than that no problems. The wife said that still qualifies as my curse. After they were installed I discovered I would have clearance issues if I dropped the front further so the back gets to come back up. The final picture shows the planned final ride height with the assistance of a couple of jacks.
Anyone know where I can find 3inch lift springs for the rear?
I may have to try the Tahoe springs like TV used.
I was also thinking about adding some spacers on the rear wheels to match the front track width but am not sure how that will look with the wheels.

And I forgot about the front drop. There are no pics because it turned into one long cussing and screaming session removing the original spindles. The passenger side wound up removing the lower ball joint along with it. The pics below are with the front drop spindles installed.
