Re: New to me 1972 K5

Also finalized the rear axel... centered and set pinion angle ... new lower shock mounts and factory upper mounts... Not sure if I'll add a mount for the reserviors or just attach them to the shock body...



Russ cleaning the axle tubes... you can see the new mounts in bare metal and the factory mounts further out...



Here are the new rear spring hangers. The first set was not square and they also hit the body mount on the Blazer. The vendor was very easy to work with and built the new hanger and sent it out without hesitation. Kert at DIY4X is great and easy to work with. I have recomended him before and still will.



Here is a shot of the front of the driver side, springs mounted and shock tabs welded... 11" of travel on the Fox 2.0 shocks...





OH.. and here is a shot of the stainless steel tank... still flat with its protective plastic cover...
