Thanks for the good words and well wishes guys. Rad, I'm still wrestling between steelies and rallies - love the look of both. I've got a set of 15x8 steelies that may find their way onto the Blazer yet.

Happy to say the test drives went well with no leaks or lost parts. I've not yet driven it so can't personally comment on ride quality or the feel of the quick ratio Red Head rebuilt steering box. FWIW Eric the shop owner says the ride was smooth not stiff and he noticed no squirreliness (sp?) with the steering at all. I'll comment back on the feel of the leaf springs and steering box.

I'll get more pics up next week once the Blazer is home and before it ships to WI.
