it all depends on what type of setup you want. if your going with a mono leaf spring with bags (which i don't rcomend) then all you'll have to do is notch the frame and weld on bag brackets and take all your springs out the pack except for the main leaf. But if you go with a 3, 4, or five link setup in the rear, then you'll have a lot more work ahead of you setting up the suspension. the front is just trimming the spring pocket and welding or bolting in the brackets. i heard the bolt on rear clips from airride technologies and suicidedoors.com are pretty straightforward, but im not sure if they make them for blazers. if not, then bring it to a reputable shop to have a rear suspension fabbed up for you...or bring it to me, i'm always up for some side work

i love having air on my blazer. air suspension really aint that bad if its done right. but don't be cheap about buying air suspension parts. you get what you pay for. and you'll find out it's better to go ahead and spend more money for a better ride that won't leave you stranded on the side of the road then to buy cheap parts like valves and fittings and they brake. but i'm telling you its worth it when you pull up anywhere and hit a switch and everyone from a block away turns and looks. pssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

i agree, plus the ride is incredible compared to the harshness of drop springs. but i usually like to drive mine with no air in the bags anyways...zero psi. nothing like a good spark show. that'll get you some looks.

Yeah I love bags. There's nothing like it. I just can't wait till I get the rest of my setup, it's drivin me crazy.

I got my compressor and tank the other day. I've got a Viair 550 compressor and a flat black 5 gallon tank. I gotta get a Sawzall so I can cut the bed out of my Blazer so I can put my 4 link and c notches in.

*Drool*

suicidedoors.com is the place to get all your airride stuff. that's where i got all the stuff for my blazer. here is a website you can check it. it tells you everything you need to know about air suspension. www.bagginit.com

Your blazer won't be the same as an s10 b/c of the fact of doing a 4link and such. you can visit s10forum.com or blazinlow.com and those sites have plenty of people who can help you more.

yeah, i get all my stuff from suicidedoors.com too. you cant beat their prices, plus they are minitruckers themselves so they know what we want. not some big coorperation overpricing everything made cheaply and not giving any technical help. too bad they don't sell fittings, though. or air cylinders at that.
