The change from 2-3 inch body for more clearance. Got the rubber to meet the steel inner fender crossing a dtich line by a field so I had to go up. i wont let the tires rub, again forgot to had a hacked 2 inches or so off the rear of the front fenders after the 305-65-17 MTs.

Not too noisy but a little sound and seems to runs better. Also in this shot is my whiskey and coke and the body lift/mount http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC12001.jpg Bumpers off for the extra height http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC12000.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC11998.jpg http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC11997.jpg great before shot but cant find the extra with the added inch http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC11996.jpg Blocks and bolts went in good and the front bumper stuff did too, but the rear needed some adjustment since it was a prototype MarkMC hooked me up with. http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/grinding.jpg But it got on and fit better than stock http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...R/SDC12090.jpg |
Got the body lift all on and put it in the National 4x4 Jamboree and got an absolute ton of attention. I was the tallest functioning Trailblazer there. I never really entered a show, so I decided to put some stuff about the build and I had a ton of people asking how, what, wow, where can i get one?

FYI I will get my pics from work and everywhere else and try to make this more coherrent, but I was kinda pushed to make a thread. I have pics of most installs and know I forgot stuff. I will properly edit 1st post with a list of the whole setup tomorrow, but I got a start now. |
Oh Yeah..New mod coming soon

http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/r...rsidetruck.jpg Test of Stinger bumper. Will be edone at some point, hopefully soon, but is stronger than the stock bumper and mounted better as well. I fugure it is better than just removing the front bumper cover and it added a bar in front of the lower radiator and will provide a nice mount place for a radiatior skid.

Been wanting to try some 35s, so I had these Yota rims i got awhile back...Anyone know what they are called or info so i can find centers?... 15x8. I found some 35x12.50x15 KM1s well used but siped and some tread left to play with and do a couple months of test fit without big expenditure.
It is cold but decided that I could use the LP heater to warm the beads and some whiskey to warm me and figred I would mount them myself. Only took about and hour and a half and a drink and a half to mount all four. http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...lz/35s/262.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...lz/35s/288.jpg Went white letter out due to wear patterns and to complete what think of as old school look on these tires and wheels. 15 yrs ago I had the BFG MT with letters out on some similar wheels on my frst lifted blazer, so the look brought some good ole memories out. http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...lz/35s/294.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...lz/35s/301.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...lz/35s/304.jpg Stance is better than the 33s and it looks like they should clear, but the firewall may need some massaging went turned and tucked. http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...ailz/35s/4.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...ailz/35s/3.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...ailz/35s/2.jpg http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/...ailz/35s/1.jpg |
