Photos with Spacers Installed
Does anybody have photos of the rear wheels with the spacers installed.
Going to order them this week, I want to make sure I get the right ones.
I'm looking for the rear tires to come out to the wheels wells.
Are the ones from AIM good?
Thanks,
John.
ps. I ordered the Daystar shackels yesterday.

have you read this- ordering spacers (comparison and review)
The AIM spacers are fine, although there is quite a wait for them as they are manufactured on demand. Also they have 1/2" studs so you will need another lugwrench to pack along, as well as having to press the black caps on, instead of threading them on the stock lug nuts.
As for size, if you are going strictly for looks wider is better 1.5", 1.75" or 2" for the rear.
Now 1.25" will put you very close to the same track, and can later be moved to the front if you wish. Then add the thicker spacers to the rear later.
The 1.25" spacers will also be easier to sell if you decide to since they are the most popular.
Be sure to determine the stud size if it does make a difference to you.
I'd buy these - Ebay spacers $69 email first to specify 12mm studs if that is what you want. Personally it wouldn't make a difference to me
Here's mine running 1.25" front spacers and 2" rear spacers-

I emailed the guy from ebay last night, he's going to get back to me when he has the 2" spacers available. I measured my tires-- to-- fender
today, and I think the 2" ones will be best.
So Far in one week that I found this site, I purchased a shackle kit, fog light upgrade, back up light upgrade and removed my cassette player for the CB. The spacers are next, then a TB lift and 30" 9.5 R15's.
What an expensive site

WTH!!!!!
coffee --- your Blazer has a drop down tailgate? Is that why you don't have a handle on the back to open it with? I didn't know you could get Blazers both ways.
My whole rear end opens upwards.
I miss havung the droppable tailgate my S-15 Jimy had.

Thats weird.
Well my ls has power everything but seats, heated mirrors, keyless entry, and overhead compass. the only thing I dont think it has is climate control, sunroof, and power seats.
