Hillbilly hell!!! And we wonder why they are cracking down on modified suspension. Can you imagine being on the road with your family with that thing out there?

**jamie72** · 05-28-2007, 08:15 PM

just making it clear, this is a part blazer i just bought, i didn`t do the lift..lol
yea its pretty crazy, first thing i thought was wth???

Mudder · 05-28-2007, 09:11 PM

I've seen it done many times by people that are off base or too cheap to do things right. If you don't have the means to do it right you should just leave it alone. I'm old enough to remember hockey pucks and frame stacking.

it came from texas in 1991, not sure when the lift was added..

My '75 had front lift blocks when I bought it. I didn't drive it like that though.

Double stack rears are awesome!

CrashEd · 05-30-2007, 12:43 AM

I feel old now i knew what you were talking about with the hockey pucks and stacked frames LOL!!
The blocks are crazy a drive line is no place to be on the cheap. Now if its a trailered mud truck that is only run in the mud boggs and you really like fixing broke parts then id say go for it.

I saw that posted before and no one commented.Or,was it another?Someone was selling parts/lift kit from a frame done like that.There were other "red flags",too.So guys will do anything to get it up.
