Nice wheels. I wouldn't mind a set of those on my son's truck. My wife would kill me if I was spending money on two project trucks at the same time...LOL

They’re a great deal at less than $900 for the set; I’m pretty impressed with the quality considering.

Thankfully, the Blazer is for her, with plenty of input from her on design. I think you guys will like her style, stay tuned

What size and backspacing did you get stuck with when you bought the 1-piece wheels?
From what I remember the fronts don't have enough backspacing and the rears have too much for the narrow 67-69 housing.
20x8 with 4.5" BS and 20x10 with 5.75" BS sound right?

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good 4wd

That is correct.

The fronts are equal to a 5” BS on an 8.5” wheel, which is pretty close to perfect, maybe could use another 1/4”. CPP claims an additional 7/16” narrow on their spindles; we’ll see how it goes.

Rears are too much BS for an early rear, but should work with the late, wide rear. Optimal BS would be 5.5”, so 5.75” may cause inner fender rubbing at low ride heights. I’ll be running a 275/40 as opposed to the usual 295, which should afford a bit more clearance. Worst case, I install longer studs and run a 1/4” spacer, though I don’t think it will be an issue. Guess we’ll see on this one, too

Don’t give up on the truck, I haven’t

Wheels came from eBay seller 865allamericantire, look for the auction with 2 wheels for the best deal.

Yeah, the DEG parts sure make life easier, at least in theory. Definitely pondering the stretch.

Parts look good painted up. I know you are putting bags, but what are you using to control them?

Bags rear only for now, on schraders. If I decide later to go all the way, it’s accuair or nothing

The holy grail conversion. This will never be that, but I’ll try to do it some level of justice. I do have a couple of cool ideas, none of them involving turbos (at least not on this one).

Been out of town the last 2 months with a training class. Catching up at work/home, then back to the fun stuff. Might see some minor progress before HRPT, dunno...

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good 4wd

Mr. Crazy White Dood, you're too kind. My junk is nothing special. Just an overpowered clunker. lol. I think I'm gonna maybe start to straiten the body and make it nice.

On a side note, nice find on that Blazer. Looks pretty mint. I'd hate to know what you had to give for it....Especially after cruising CL and looking what guys want for total jalopy basket case Blazers. Insanity.

Looks nicer in pictures than it is (don’t they always?). Only reason I bought it is because it was priced right, well, that and I have a serious truck addiction...
