Re: RECOMMENDED SUSP AND DRIVETRAIN MODS
currently i'm riding on stock nearly bald miches p235 75r15. a friend has a two door 1997 blazer. he put 31x10.5 yoko on his truck and he only has minor rubbing on his front sway bar during a max turn. an adjustment to his max turn set screw would fix that. my next ot check will go to 31x10.5 bfg tk os. this will put me in the same boat as my friend 97blazer. this truck is always going to be a daily driver some i'm looking to do a little lift susp/body. i've got the under the hood know how air intake, headers, open exhaust, ignition(msd all the way). my problem will be the susp. i think i'm going to have to save my duckets and have a local pro do this. i'm only thinking 2"or 3" then maybe 1"or 2" body. my goal is this: a locked rear, 31"or 32" thornbirds for the summer on the beach and in the mud hole and 31" bfg's for the winter. the birds will fit on a set of z28 rims,12"wide birds. i saw a chevy truck in a mudhole with these rims and 12"wide tires. i also want to use some spacers to match the rear track and front track. i have alot of ideas i just need the duckets and the time. another thing is i am looking for a out side spare tire carrier to put on my truck from a two door. the guys at my local dealership advised my that the rack will not fit on my four door. this does not add up. i have had a two door and my truck side by side and the rear passenger side panel have the same angle and corner configuration. they also said that the carrier will be about four hundred duckets, that seems steep. i guess i'll have to go to the scrap yard? they suggested that i go to a custom shop that does thier custom work. this doesn't seem like a problem install? after i get this problem behind me i'm welding in a locking strong box where the spare was. if its big enough i'll consider mounting an additional battery as a back up. i'm sure before its all over i'll need some more power for accessories.as before thanx in advance for the help jerry
