Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

I have a good idea of how much I want to lift my blazer thanks to a few members in an earlier post. Lets see some lifted blazers w/ specs!

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Well for just a few more months it will look like this :D

4/6 Spring Lift (Offset to counter top weight, no rear sag)
No body lift, and 35 x 12.5 x 15's on 8" Rally's. Doesn't rub
for street cruising but would rub if you were to wheel it ;)

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

4" of lift, stock 16" wheels and P235/85R16 tires (approx 31.5" tall)

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

I *think* I have 6" spring lift (installed by previous owner) with 36x12.50x15's (34 3/4" tall) & 4.56 gears.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Here is a pic of mine . it started out with 4 inch springs with 4 inch blocks in the rear with broken leaf packs . I took all that out threw it all away got new 6 inch springs for the front with ORD shackels and shackel hangers for a total of 7 inches in the front . the rear is the ORD shackel flip kit with 3 inch rear springs and a one inch zero rate block to recenter the axle and that is for a total of 8 inches . The axles are a 3/4 dana 44 with 4:10 gears and the rear is a 1 ton 14bolt with 4:10 gears . The tires i have on it now are 36/14.50/16 on 16x10 procomp rims . also there is a one inch body lift in the truck to from ORD so the total lift is around 9 + inches give or take .

VT, I could not get that link to work?

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

bigbadchev72, Do you know any details to use 73-87 front springs? That is one sharp truck!

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Not too much too it really, just bolted thm in place and used some 3/8" flatbar for the rear shackles on the front springs, i have no alignment/caster/front driveline problems running this setup. the thing drives straight and rides nice.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Did you have to move the front spring mount closer to the bumper? Are the73-87 front springs the same width? Thanks for the pics.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

it looks like me , vtblazer and bigbadchev72 have the tallest blazers in here so far .

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

nope, they are installed in the stock position front hangers, the only thing i had to do was put the longer shackles in the back of the spring like in the pictures i posted of it to make up for the longer springs, i believe the springs are 2.5" wide as are all aftermarket springs i believe

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

6" Alcans and 42's here, with a set of zero rates on the rear and shackle flips.

36"s to the rock sliders and 22"s of ground clearance under the t-case skid.

*no pics of it sittin' still with the 42's on it so you to see the stance/lift, all the pics are of it twisted up or flopped over...:bowtie: :confused:

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Here are a couple pics of my 70 K5 with 4" front Superlift lift springs and the rear is a combination of a 2" block with custom spring perches on a 14 Bolt to level it out. IMO these 4" front springs probably don't measure out to an actual 4" lift - I'd say the have to be closer to 3".

I can't recall the exact height of these tires in the next two pics, I'll have to measure them and then updated this.

And the following are pics while I temporarily have some 35" Super Swamper SSR's on the K5 (they measure closer to 34.5")

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

4" lift, 35" tires

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

4" Front springs with home-made 3" lift shackles. 6 " rear springs. 3" body lift. Only 36" tires, for now.

...oh and the most important thing: 8 year old co-pilot!

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

~6" suspension lift with 3" body lift sitting on 38" Radial TSL's. This made me realize that I need to take more pics of the truck.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

hellrazrblade - It looks like Big Foot is trying to get friendly with your truck. :lol:

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Maybe it's just me..but that looks kind of scary???

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Didn't you know? He's attracted to iridescent purple.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Care to explain?

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

6'' lift and 35'' tires....

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

I don't see anything wrong with it, 3/8 is plenty strong for that.

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

The first time I saw the first picture that you have posted it threw me since it needs to be rotated - I thought it was the front mount rather than the rear shackle and I was really scratching my head and thinking, how in the world could he be using a shackle mount up front - maybe that is what he was concerned about :confused:

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

i think it was probly the front blocks that is dangerous to drive on the street

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

They are tied into the spring pack and are very widely used. Its called a "zerorate" it will let you adjust the centering of your axle.

I have since then reworked the suspension in the front and it is alot more trail friendly since i got better shackle angles, it rides alot nicer as well. Plus i got a great place to mount some d-rings. I got a piece of 1/4wall 2x6 square tubing cross tied between the frame rails and my zero rates installed straight up then centered the axle

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

yeah ive seen zero rate blocks before its just from the pic it looked like a 2inch block was all do you need them to put the newer springs on the front of the blazer or what

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

I had mine for the extra lift from my old 84 the springs originally came off of. The wheel was about an 1.5" back towards the firewall so if you wanted the wheel centered in the opening then yes you do need them

Re: Pics and specs of lifted blazers
 

Try it now, sorry for the delay.
