Blazer update.

Added:

-Front and rear add a leafs
-Front and rear Hickey differential covers and truss support
-Steering stabilizer
-2nd gen front sway bar

I love the stance now and the ride and handling is greatly improved.

Love IT! Underneath the blue paint is Ochre on my K5. It's going back to Ochre as soon as funds permit. Just like my SPID says. More pics, please.

Thanks for the kind words.

The winch and bumper was on when I bought the blazer, but I like the look and how old school it is (cable operator from in the cab). The original owner had it put on shortly after he bought the blazer new. The truss came from midunes here on the forum. He has all the reproduction Hickey stuff. That and the front cover is reproduction, but the back cover is original Hickey. Look him up here or do a Hickey search on ebay.

Yes. 1.5" To me that is the correct width.
