I like it, nice stance. Any plans for wheels/tires, or are you going with what you have currently?

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

I put those on. It had 15 by 7 rallys on it with 275/60's all the way around and they rubbed in the front so I put those. I like the look so much better

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

2 1/2 in spindles in front with 2 coils cut. Had to shim it out alot but all that was done before I got it. Back is shackles and hangers with all leafs taken out but main and overload. Relocated shocks measured to the drop. It rides great. I'm not happy with it in general because instead of putting smaller tire in front, previous owner took out wheel wells. The cruise control was mounted on them and tire changing equipment.

Do you have any info on the hangers? do you know who makes them? i looked and looked and could never find a company that made hangers for the Blazer.

I thought about having some made for my truck, then i just decided to flip the axle.

can you take pictures of them?

I love the stance of the truck! she looks great, makes me wana go work on mine!lol

I would recomend flipping your axle. the previous owner did this drop and it would change ride height when it had a full tank of gas. flipped axle will provide a nice drop and still hold the weight of the top and any passengers better.

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

Its really low I can give u fender to ground measurements. Its a doable drop just had to do without cutting corners like previous owner did. It scrapes the fender occasionally when I turn sharp and if u back up with the wheels turned hard it will rub heater core. That's why I don't like it but it looks cool I guess

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

Found this one on CL asking $6500.00 I'm looking for a 2wd but I think he's asking too much, stock 350, nice red interior, original paint.

I think it would be tough to duplicate for that $. Looks like a deal to me, and I am really not looking for one. If it was local, I might be.

I saw this one on CL and thought is was a good deal. Nobody has messed with it so you have a fresh palette to start with. Some nice rims will make it look great.

Re: How many 2wd Blazer do we have?

I'd seriously consider it, but must finish and sell my '77 c10.
It's only too much because I don't have the $.
