Is it my Blazer or me? - 8/2/2008 12:46:40 PM    mad_blazer   Posts: 5 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer 4x4 LS.  I have installed a 2" Rough Country T-bar/Shackle Lift.  I have replaced the upper Ball Joints, installed new CV axles, Polyurethane bushings, and 4 new Rough Country Shocks.  I am running 15x8 Corvette Ralleys with 31x10.5x15 Uniroyal Laredo tires.  I marked the T-Bar key adjustment bolts when I removed the stock keys and installed them on the new keys.  I cranked them up and the ride was significantly harsh.  So I backed the bolts out evenly to less than stock position.  The front still sits high and rides rough.  Does the Sway Bar require longer end-links?  Or is this just me not taking into consideration the sacrifices of lifted trucks.  Thanks Post #: 1

So even with the less than stock position, you''''re still actually lifted, which kills the ride. Lifting with the torsion bars makes a harsh ride, no real way around that.. < Message edited by WolfPack -- 8/3/2008 12:19:15 AM > _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to mad_blazer) Post #: 2
