It still needs work. I need to have the drive shaft shorten, looks like the rear end is shot. I can see a shape of a gear on the rear ends housing.:( I can also move the back tires back and forth about 1/4". I need to find a way to refasten the rear sway bar and rear helper air bags.

here is a before
31/11.5x15 with a 3 " suspension lift.

The front was lifted with springs and the rear had 3" blocks.

All your Blazer needs is a 12" lift and some 26's. ;)

Seriously though, nice looking Blazer! It looks great and I'll bet it's a blast to drive.

Thanks for the input I just updated my pictures now that the suspension has settled. I don't think I can go any lower in the front without cutting the fenders. I only have about 1" or so before the front tires start to hit.

So what all did you use to drop your Blazer? How much is it dropped?

I remember that! :) I think it had helper bags so he could tow boats? I loved it lowered, and was disappointed to see it raised up. Good to see it down low again!
