96 Blazer walled..triple alt work


Recommended Posts

Posted

Really good work, Gave me lots of ideas for my 2dr blazer, GREAT score! I LOVE that AA>DC decal.

Any way you can snap a pic of your door panels showing how much clearance your're getting between them and the seats? I have a 2000 without power seats but I'm also looking to do 2 nendo 8 and 2 nendo 6.5 in each along the bottom of door.

Did you do anything to compensate for the weight? helper springs? I see a lean but mine leans that much with less than half that much weight.

OH and BIG question? How are your door strikers?

Door panels hit the seats....didn't even check for clearance lol, oh well

The back mid on each door hits the front of the seats. Just pushes in on the seat and they still close fine

No springs/leafs yet. Not real sure if what's on it is stock or not

Door strikers are fine, but only because I reinforced them ahead of time. Let me get a pic

Edit: I'll have to get a pic after work, thought I had on in my pb but guess not

I've been stumped on a way to reinforce the strikers forever now. mine are bad. (doors chatter when hitting pot holes lol) a pic of that will be HUGELY HELPFUL, already went through the door pin issue. and reason I'm walling is because of the rear glass striker and latch problem. also cracking tail gate... these trucks are like iron lungs...

You have leafs, helper springs I plan on using: fleabay link

Those are bolt on ones. there are heavier duty ones made by same company, Summit will list them all if you search make and model, believe it goes up to 2500lbs iirc

Iraggi makes a different duel alt bracket if you'd like to have AC back or add a 3rd. (Pictured in my avatar)

I talked to Iraggi and he wasn't really sure if it would fit the 4.3l....said I might have to move some stuff around or do some mods or something. Couldn't really tell me so I didn't buy it

Any mods needed to make it work? I'd like 3 alts eventually

The striker is the piece on the b-pillar the door latches onto? That's what I reinforced, pretty easily actually

My door pins back out too, just dealing with it for now

I'll get some pics tonight and it'll show it

yeah. the door strikers. cracks all around them. its awful. I'd love you see how you remedied that.

As far as that bracket it would really matter on what alts you are running. I have a Singer 350 and a old Powermaster 250. They fit how they are pictured but if swapped around they would not fit. Only modifications needed was the coolant bottle. no need to move it. We just heated it up and bent it in to clear. .We did have to bend the little bracket holding cables leading into throttle body and bend the dip stick tube slightly out of the way. nothing serious really.

Theres a bunch of different brackets. Someone has 4 alts and retained AC and i don't know who it is. remember being shown pictures a while back. would love to get my hands on those brackets.

If I remember right Justin Yeo fit 4 alts in his blazer. I think it was one in stock location and 3 around where the ac compressor was

2 on passenger side and 2 where the AC was

I just got a piece of steel and put it under that piece. Drilled holes in it and used stock bolts/holes. Used 3m panel bond to glue it

Holding fine

Man, yours look so much better than mine I've got cracks all over the place around original mounting point from the flex. can actually wiggle it with my hand. might give this a try with a slightly bigger piece of steel to compensate for the cracks. Thanks for the picture! :dancing:
