Im also talking here in canada eh

seems like up here the lifts are alot more expensive. My TM lift its self was almost 3 grand! i couldnt believe it.

bubaloo1983

did you try test fitting? maybe it will work

bubaloo1983

That harsh sucks

i feel your pain!

Well guys my truck should be off the road for about 6 months

brutal eh?? i think i will just wax it every day to keep it alive

lol

i already miss it! i sit so low in my girlfriends car!

i will keep you all posted

bubaloo1983

yes there is, about an inch near the door and whatever you need in the rear. the thing is the rear of the blazer is shackle rear, therefore when it compresses the tire moves towards the rear of the truck and will clear the fender when stuffed ( up to about a 33 inch tire from what i have measured so...

bubaloo1983

Excited

just because i have wanted to get them done for so long but stuff kept coming up. But now i have some time and a way to get the tooling done faster

so 3 months is pretty much the time frame, but thats with the first couple sets coming off the molds. so it should be good

bubaloo1983

trust me i cant wait till these are done

bubaloo1983

Yah blaze i can install for you when they are done

but henry is a giving guy

lol

bubaloo1983

yah i cantw ait to see em either, i was excited when he said he had pics but thats all i got so far lol.

bubaloo1983

Im finishing up the tooling over the next little while for these trucks and with the help of one of our members i will actually get the 4 doors started and finished most likely in about 3 months

bubaloo1983

hey guys check this out! I had a volunteer off ebay buy a set of my flares for his jimmy and put um on. Hes sending me more pics but from this first one, it screams zr2! http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10058/99%20jimmy%20with%20flares.jpg very cool looking. i will post some mor...

bubaloo1983

A good working daily drive sfa with a dana30 and all parts done by a shop would run you about 5000

an ifs lift will run you about half that. but with parts ect later the sfa is better, just make sure you do alot of research and make sure its for you

bubaloo1983

I will also stand behind sfa over an ifs lift even on streets. Mine fell apart after less then a year with only a few offraod trips. My truck is now sfa and i can drive without worry now.

bubaloo1983

there we go a follow bc er

yep icbc blows lol.

bubaloo1983

Yah i could use one of those thats for sure. Well i decided to go with paying it out, I got the info from the insurance company and my rates over time will be to much a month, at least with the crew. If i had an old beater it might be a different story. So im stuck paying it. But oh well. Life goes ...

bubaloo1983

i didnt have a ball hitch just one of those gmc inserts. The guy made the claim through the insurance corp due to the high damage. so i have to go though them. only diference is if i pay it out i dont have rates go up. where as if i leave it they do. also a side not some of you might not know y\that...

bubaloo1983

Bumber has a scratch in it and thats it, not even a bloody dent! I honestly dont even know how i did so much damage, i barley hit the thing. One funny thing about the story is when i went back inside and talked to the guy and brought him out to look at the damage he asked me " how the heck did you h...

bubaloo1983

well guys i have some bad news :( I was at the gym the other day and was backing out of a stall, at that time there was no one in the stall behind me, my friend came up to my window and started talking to me for about 5 minutes or so, after he left i just kept backing up....and right into a cadilac ...

bubaloo1983

ah i see i will try again

bubaloo1983

sounds sweet!

bubaloo1983

jeff024 wrote:35" tires on the ifs = front end problems right bubaloo

sorry missed this awhile ago jeff, yes big time issues with that set up.

wam you got the flares on the rear or just the cuts? i cant wait to see

bubaloo1983

i tried to put me on there, im confused lol.

bubaloo1983

yah the set up on m truck was quted from a local shop at about 4500. thats dana 30, labour, fab work, drive shafts, gears, and parts ( leafs, steel, steering ect) i did it myself for about 2000 plus or minus. My time is money though too lol and took me about 3 weeks, plus i had issues at the beginin...

bubaloo1983

im going to guess, 6600 bucks? lol im just throwing that out there

bubaloo1983

that would be the hvac problem. someone will post the link i cant remember where it is. i have the same trouble 2 times so far :S

bubaloo1983

whoa it makes the truck

i like it alot! justget 33s your wife probably wouldnt even notice

haha

the 31 does look small in the rear but its kinda dark up front so i will have to see another pic

bubaloo1983

cant wait to see some close ups, what tires, 35s?

bubaloo1983

wow quik how come it has taken so long? are you expecting a rather large bill? :S

bubaloo1983

yah i will even admit HJ has a better write up and pics

bubaloo1983

yah i even admit they are crazy price! they are 1/4 inch aluminum or 3/16 steel so material cost is high plus because they are not high volume, materials are a bloody fortune from my supplier, plus i have to make them. i will see what i can cook up

bubaloo1983

i will work on the price tonight, reason its so high is volume. but i can probably work something out

bubaloo1983

Split topic-HJ

maybe i should find a way to make this cheaper huh?

bubaloo1983

With my spring over and 4 inch lift springs i think my truck sits at 59 inches to the mirror. im no where near the oil pan at full flex, but if your leaf under at full flex thats another like 5 inches. i would test it out at full flex and make sure before you go offroad and smack that pan

bubaloo1983

chum,

good luck bud

bubaloo1983

Good points HJ also, just a note, it seems that your alignment goes out alot more with the lift and large tires. I found everytime i got it aligned it would only take on hard hit or bumb and it was out. Also like Henry says your ball joints will probably be gone, aswell as other suspension parts are...

bubaloo1983

I had many problems with my ifs lift and i will tell you its not just the tm. Its the ifs. its not ment for lifts at all. It literally starts to fall apart after a few months. especially with something like a 33 12 50 tire. if i were you i would uncrank the t bars totally to stock. That could be hel...

bubaloo1983

i love your wish list blaze one lol. very nice

bubaloo1983

lol it was mostly for the colorado/canyons as when i made them know one else had them out yet. so i moved into both. its no biggie

bubaloo1983

Hes right

thanks border i really apprceiate it when our guys help out. thanks again!

my shackles are 80 bucks shipped, 1/4 inch steel 2 inch lift

bubaloo1983

i am half way there ( the fronts lol)

the tooling is just really complicated thats all. i didnt relize there is like no material for the part on the door.

no promises at this point now. sorry guys

bubaloo1983

yah i have been looking at the blazers for tooling thoughts ect and it will be fun to make

not alot of material there to remove aswell

bubaloo1983

thanks HJ

bubaloo1983

Im getting rear diff leakage. Possibly from the higher angle now that i am at 3 inch blocks in the rear plus a leaf over? Its coming from where the diff meets the drive shaft. I was blowing smoke all over the high way yesterday as it was going onto my exhaust. What do you guys think seal or could it...

bubaloo1983

Nice pics HJ

Got a few more of your truck in action

bubaloo1983

I think bds does make a skid but its a pos that goes inside the sway bar. yours is better then that bweeny

Now you should cut something in it to give it that custom look

bubaloo1983

very nice, thats a wicked angle on that front skid, arent you going to basically plow into everything as oposed to sliding over it?

bubaloo1983

get it one a lift the next time it must be in four wheel. I drove around for a day once with that untill i noticed the light on 4 hi was on and i didnt even push it. did it a few times and went away. keep us posted

bubaloo1983

im thinking its stuck in four wheel drive because thats exactly what your truck will do when turning slow in 4 wheel drive on pavement. My truck had this problem awhile back and i never even pushed the button. It soped doing it though and i never check into the problem. find out if its in 4 wheel fo...

bubaloo1983

thanks steve, let us know how the install goes

bubaloo1983

whoa the first painted set and they look good

truck looks beefed

i agree with the guys spacers are a good step

bubaloo1983

very nice set up

truck looks great HJ! keep them pics coming

bubaloo1983

lol seem slike alot of work but man would that ever be cool

bubaloo1983

anything can be made to work

lol. just would take a long time!

let us know how you make out as it would look sick

bubaloo1983

i would like to see someone run 32s with these and a bod lift

bubaloo1983

yay! thanks brule

bubaloo1983

i would like deatiled info lol. but what about color matching?

bubaloo1983

i think it can be done

anyone want to try hehe

bubaloo1983

I think its perfect as those pics where it has the red lines show really clear what is removed so right there you know what you are getting into which is good. where as the auto cad pictures i send only gives you a small idea of what happends.

Well done!

bubaloo1983

i want to get mine painted body color but i dont even know where to get it done.

think a body shop would do it?

bubaloo1983

yah i have never understood torsion bars at all. it doesnt make sense to me :S lol

bubaloo1983

hes the man

im excited about " the plans" man you really know how to get guys going ummmmmm

and you have pm

bubaloo1983

The trailmaster is 4 inches upfront, you should be able to just measure what the diff and sway bar drop brackets are. The t bar crank got me up another bunch. Also something i noticed that im not sure is in my head or not but when i had the t bar relocators on my truck with cranked t bars my truck w...

bubaloo1983

You can go witha body lift, even the three inch if you are into making something work, there was a member on here who ran the 3 inch on his truck if i remember right. Do a mild t bar crank and run your shackles. Not to toot my own horn but i would run a 2 inch shackle ( that my company makes) with s...

bubaloo1983

Yah i have seen about 5 here in bc so far, and most of our members are us

bubaloo1983

nice truck,

where in canada are yah? im in vancouver bc

bubaloo1983

my gf calls me my name so i thought it was unique

bubaloo1983

it took me a week to complete, as well as another week to work out steering problems ect.so if you piad someone labour your looking at 4 grand if it takes a week. i have metal fab experience so that was in the bag. Parts and matierals for fabricating cost me close to 1500 and i still dont have every...

bubaloo1983

hey yah it did get sold sorry i should have posted that. sold it to a zr2 guy

i did finish the skid and sold one so far. i dont have a pic of it though! but once he gets it ( i actually just shipped it yesterday) i will get pics of it on his bds lift

bubaloo1983

No.

right to the point hj lol

bubaloo1983

that thing is huge! but looks

the crew cab looks nice i think. few things to change but still, walt you think it needs fender flares

bubaloo1983

i would hate to see the day that this board is no more

bubaloo1983
