Agreed.
The best part about it to me so far, is the satisfaction that ive done all of the work myself, well myself and my mechanic (dad) lol, and didnt pay some shop to do it which seems like alot of people do that. Another great thing is that no one really lifts s10 blazers or s10's for that matter.

Looks much better all trimmed. Did you get a Hypertech Programmer to fix your speedometer? Because it's going to be off now with the bigger tires.

Yo! Looks great. Nice trim job. Sorry about the dog, mine just died a few weeks ago also. Its hard. Hope that trimming does the trick! Workin on gettin mine lifted right now. Got the shackles and had it on the lift today, but im not sure if i want to mess with the alignment right now with the t- bar crank. How much does that throw it off anyhow? So i just ended up greasing the ball joints. lol

thanks to all!

nj4X4blaze - negative, the speedo is off 8mph, im not going to waste the money on that just for a one time fix. i can deal with my speedo saying im going slower than i really am lol.

nhvff57 - the alignment is pretty bad, the camber is too negative, and it pulls to the right alot, my fathers going to align it tomorow for me at work. also the cv axles are at a horid angle lol.. whatever its worth it.

thanks about my dog guys.

edit: also quick question, im debating wheter or not to take the roofs racks off..

Yay or Nay?

on your truck, keep the rack.  i think almost all trucks look better with the rack. with the exception of lowered blazers

Got an idea far ya. With the big wheels and the lift, a row of offroad lights like maybe 4 lights would look awesome on the rack. It would spice up the rack, and give the truck a little more offroad flavor. Thats what im gonna do to mine. If you want me to, ill show you what i did to get the rack up a little further so the lights arent in the dead center of the truck, and rather, closer to the front. Lemmie know what ya think.

You guys might be able to help me out. I plan on doing alot of what this guy did but instead of a body lift, im doin a 2" suspension lift. Dumb question but would i be able to do that in my driveway? i dont want to pay some shop to out it on, i would like to do it myself. An once i had that on i was gonna put on a lil bit smaller of a shackle on there an lift the front. I plan to put either 30's or 31's also.

that lift kit is a waste of money in my opinion, the torsion keys let you over crank the torsion bars, and why would you buy the 2" lift kit then buy a 1" shackles and make it smaller? that lift comes with 2" shackles, also if your looking for 1" of lift, then crank the stock torsion bars a few turns untill you get about an inch and just put 1" shackles on. for nearly a 1/4 of the price of the rough country kit.

I still want the 2" lift, just kinda huntin around, an to me a suspension lift seems like it would be alot easier to install than a body lift.

well if you want a 2" suspension lift, then torsion bars or shackles have nothing to do with a body lift. Just go to Synergyoffroad.com and buy 2" lift shackles and crank your stock torsion bars untill you about 1.5-2" of lift. By doing so you accomplish a 2" lift for lets says 70$ with shipping and all rather than the 400 whatever the rough country one is. Just trying to save you some money.
