Well, after 3 weekends of running to my Dad's house to work on the Blazer, it is finally lowered with the new wheels. EVERYTHING underneath it is new, including bearings in the differential (it had shims falling out when I swapped axles from the worn out bearings). It rides, drives, and stops better than a brand new 1970 Blazer. I couldn't be happier!

Here's a few pics for y'all.
