Does it have blocks on the rear for the current lift? If the rear spring are arched 4", then putting them up front will net about 8" of lift. If it's just blocks, then you're good to go.
Sounds like a good find. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/40BEER.gif[/img]

They definetly made 10 bolt corp 8 lugs, the last year for the 44 was between 79-80. all the trucks/ blazers after this (besides 1 tons) used 10 bolts, no matter the lug pattern

yes i have two blazers and 1 truck now, i have a '86 1/2 ton chevy blazer, '87 3/4 chevy blazer, and a '81 1/2 ton gmc longbed, i was wondering about soft tops, whats good whats not,becuse after the wreck the top does not even come clase to fitting back on, all ive seen are soft tops for $499 to $799 this seems a little to much to pay for a soft top, so im thinkin a full rollcage and just streck some canvass over the top. any help with bee apreciated.
