The Blazer already looks better with the stock front bumper back on it.

How much lift are you going to have when you are done?

Haven't done anything yet, except tear it down. It looks like the donor axle used pre-1978 parts for it's 3/4 ton conversion, so I should be able to keep my existing spindles and just change everything else out from there: backing plate, rotors, hub, and keep my existing lockouts

I changed the bumpers out the weekend I got it. Had them sitting in the garage waiting for the truck.

Will end up with 6" of lift from the suspension.
