BURRITO Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 to do blocks you will need longer u-bolts also, simple job though... if your leaf springs are over your axle blocks will actually lift your blazer, @ that point you will need whats called a flip kit which puts your springs under the axle which will actually lower your ride all by itself... what you wanna do is get some lowering shackles they are simple cheap and easy FTW!!!

droopy89 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 On the blazer, all youll need is a 2 inch drop block to make it level with the front, if it is a 2 wheel drive model. Most block kits come with extended u-bolts and new nuts. In a nutshell, you just gotta jack up the rear end, unbolt the u-bolts, lift the rearend up enough to slide the blocks inbetween the axle and the leafs. And for the record, Blazers have the axle over the leafs. Got any specific questions, ask away Quote 1997 S10 EC Whats in it 106.9 Sq.ft. Hushmat DB Elec. 250 amp alt.

Big P Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 on the blazer you need ether a angled block or shims to correct the pinion angle its not an issue just call any of the larger air ride mail order places like FBI or AVS and they will get you what you need. As far as instillation is preaty simple and straightforward. The kit should come with destructions with preaty pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addiction2bass Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 i had 3inch blocks on my old 96jimmy. very easy to instal!!!!! i instaled mine out in the parking lot of my old apartment complex. some penatrating oil, some open end wrenches or some DEEP sockets would also work.... i even kept my stock shocks which still worked great. they never blew.
