Well for those who might be wondering these pics I've been posting are from the past few months, I got some more parts in so i can finish up the front,and still need to run the air system and start on the rear suspension.
Slow process but its coming along

Leedogg · 10-02-2012, 12:30 PM

Bad ass. Not a bad idea. Been wanting a 2wd Blazer- but they are hard to find around here. And if you plan the lay it out- like you did...you are buying everything anyway. i may start looking at 4x's to convert.

Nice work.

xxlf250 · 10-02-2012, 03:18 PM

thanks........yeah Ive been lurking and searching the site for a while and this seemed the best way for me to get a clean all original look on bigger wheels and bagged k5,Iam happy with it so far.

xxlf250 · 11-02-2012, 11:12 PM

justpball · 11-03-2012, 06:21 PM
