1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer

[MetalGrand]

My truck.

I plan on getting a bigger lift kit, body lift, and bigger tires so that the truck will be huge!

The MPG would not be good at all, be it's worth it!

Haha, ok, scratch the body lift. :P

Yeah, I am looking in about doing the gears and thanks for comment. Also, do you know what size lift kit I should get and what tires and rims would look good on my K5?

Thanks

Thanks man :)


I really like the 8 inch, I might get a lil' taller, but i'll have to see what kind of money I have.

I take it that yours in on 4" and 33s

with stock axles no bigger than 35's....and even that's pushing it

Dana 60 and a full-floating 14 bolt rear are the only way to go, then you can run 40's with no problem, bigger than 40's, you really should run military axles, but running enough lift to rock 44's under a Blazer is kind of dumb, as their short wheelbase would make them extremely top heavy

you want 6" and 35's, that way its street friendly and not much would stand in your way off road

[MetalGrand]

Now that I think about, 6 inch is probably the way to go. Its not to big but its not small either, so its just right.

Nice K5. I'd leave it on the lift you have now, just stuff some serious rubber under it. I hate seeing trucks with huge lifts and tires that don't fill the void. Tim, like the one you posted of your buddies K5 with a 8" lift. IMO, those tires look way too small.

you should see it now, I'll try to get pics tonight, but his is sitting on almost 12" now and still has the extremely worn 35's under it, he's saving for 1 42" Swamper, as he's already got 3 other used ones

Very nice ride
