When are you going to lift that thing? It looks silly with those huge tires shoved in the fenderwells like that.

Welcome. Great pics.
I don't think Tim's Bronco is as wide nowadays :shock:

Your Blazer.....Do you have to air down, or take your garage door off to get it out of there? :D

Doing good just super busy.

Gonna have to airdown and maybe even put it just on some bare wheels i have and roll it out of the garage that way.

It ended up a taller than what i was originally intending. I should have built my own front crossmember instead of going the "easy" route and buying the sky one or i should have went with 2" lift springs instead of the 4". I havent bought new lift springs from alcan yet for the rear because i want to see how it acts and flexs to decide if im gonna lower it a couple inches or not.

I was just wondering because my Jeep barely fits with just a 3" lift and a 1.25" body lift. Just a few inches to spare for a 35" tire upgrade, but that's it.
I am limited by my garage door...........





...........and my fear of tipping over on a sidehill. :oops:

It's the single door side that I park the Jeep in. Maybe it is for a golf cart!
I'm sure you could widen it for me with your truck. :mosc
