That puts stress on the suspension that it was not designed for. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to jimmyboy) Post #: 2

I would PM him and see what he did. _____________________________ -Lenny 4.3L Auto. 3.73Gears http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2358267 (in reply to otnietdehoooo) Post #: 5

From here mark the holes that you need to drill and drill new holes to hold the lower support. From there use hardware from the kit and bolt it on. _____________________________ -Rob "what fell off of where!?!?!"
