With the back end flipped and still having the leaf springs, it can't fully drop in back can it? and it's not c notched either?

So how far down does it go, just like the standard flip kit 6 inch drop in back, and your air bags raise it up so it's not bottomed out on the axle and ride's better or can haul the family or stuff in back?

I just never seen it done that way, usually when one's bagged it's laid down all the way around. I like the setup though just wonder exactly how low or how much lower then stock the back goes. Looks like it lays down on the axle and that's it.

IMO it'd be a great setup for myself on a truck, flip kit of whatever, yet if you are going to haul something or don't want it to bottom out raise the back up some. As for the front of course you could take it up or down to look good or to not hit anything.

Now one last question lol, that front system all bolt in? no welding? looks like it.

Chris you are right the front end is all bolt on parts, and for the back I have a flip kit with 2" shackles so it will just set the axle on the frame. So I think it is 8" drop from stock, I have big tires on the back so it looks like it dose not sit that low 275x60x17. Thanks for all the input and if you need any more info just let me know.

Thanks,
Trav

Will do Trav, I freakin love that things it's beautiful, love it being nice glossy black underhood, it just looks fantastic, the fender wells and firewall done that way.

I like that bolt on kit I can handle that part for sure lol. I don't have a welder, but I like the air bags, mainly since you can raise it up to drive. Roads here suck.

Got it on the road, I took it out for a bit tonight and it ran and road very good on the air ride. I just need some time to play with how much I need in the front and back. It is just to fast going up and down with the air, I am going to get reducers for the air lines too see it that will slow it down. I will get the hood and bumper back on later this week.

Man I am so happy to get it back on the road..:metal:

The sway bar and headers look like they are no more that 2" to 3'' off the ground. Are they that close? Your BAD BLACK BLAZER looks great.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 
Thank you all for the nice replys. I wll have more pic's of it this weekend with the hood and bumper on it.


Big Block, you are right it's about 2" off the ground. But when I drive it's about 5"-6" off the ground. That's why I love air ride. I had my exhaust put on today and I had to drive it up on a rack, if I did not have air ride I could have not made it up on it. The guy exhaust place said you are not going to make it up on the rack and then I hit the air and it went up 6" made it on up with out hitting anything, that guy did not say anything but you could see it ( Holy SH$$) with his lips. that was so funny...:lol:

Thanks,
Trav

My son and I went riding in the Blazer today and he went to sleep in his car seat before I got out of the driveway. It must be the motor? Let me know what you all think of the pic that I took.

Thanks
Trav.

although I'm not a big fan of drops, that is a nice looking Blazer!
somehow the city settings works perfectly for a blazer like that!

TV- Are you running a stock fuel tank? I need to try to build a "hidden" hitch for mine behind the roll pan, any suggestions? Pics look great!
