Thanks 1972 CST & jaros44sr ! I was blessed to get the blazer a couple months ago. The specs you were asking about:

4" suspension lift by super lift with steering stabilizer
35x12.50 BFG's on the original 15" wheels painted black w/out beauty rings
350 with a performance cam
Pro comp Distributor/ignition
headers with a 2" dual exhaust

Re: Topless Thread

Weather here is real nice for topless right now!

Last weekend at about 8:30 in the morning I mentioned to my 11 year old daughter that we needed to yank the top of the Blazer sometime soon. 10 minutes later she came down to the basement fully dressed and said lets go! 45 minutes later we had the top yanked - she really digs the Blazer and that had me feeling pretty good the rest of the day!

Yeah, my 13 year old son loves mine. He keeps reminding me that he can get his learner's permit when he's 14 1/2...

The other day we were driving and I was lamenting the sale of my Z06 and he chimes in "No big deal dad, you went from the coolest car in the world to the coolest truck." Well, I didn't argue with him.
