What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

[Acorn]

Colgad, that is an awesome lookin Jimmy! I use a similar 'camo green" on a few 4wd. What brand/paint gods you use?
I think the stance looks perfect when you lowered it to 2".
Not sure if I missed it but, what size tires and rims are you running?

Looks like about a 17 inch rim and 33s. Looks good like that.

You nailed it on the 17's and 33's!

What kit or company did you use for rear disks?

Thanks!

I used a company no longer in business. Ruffstuff.com or tsm are the main ones I know of now doing it.

Quick search shows about 50 different companies now. Including jc Whitney and summit racing.

My running gear in the Jimmy is 89 2500 Suburban and I can't seem to locate any 8 lug kits.

Is it just a 14 bolt full floater rear? Here is s set of backing plates. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Disc-Brake-Con...660?nav=SEARCH
All you need then is to buy lines 3/4 Ton front calipers and rotors to replace the rear drum. And and a soft line from your hard line to the caliper so you can bleed them.

Thanks for the kind words, I bought the Jimmy with a blown 350 so I did not do the paint. ( I would like to know what it is because if need to touch up a spot).
The truck is rust free but the quarters are a little wavy, the PO put in a Silverado gas door and got a lot of warpage. But it's a good driver and from 15 feet looks good. I put in a Junk yard 2001 5.3 to fix the engine issue.
The running gear is from a 89 Suburban 2500. I kept the existing 700R.

The rims are late model 2009 the tire size 285-70-17 (33.2) The large offset of the rims help tuck the tires back under the body. The Jimmy came with 22x10" rims.

Love your quote by the way, It is one of the reasons the US is in the state that it is in. "The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten." We have forgotten that we can build it here.
