Default 8" lift onto my buddies blazer

well today we started puttin my buddies 8" on his K5. we are swappin the stock 1/2 tonners for a 14 bolt and a dana 44. he got his superlift (rear springs), shocks, pitman arm, 1/2ton to 1 ton ujoint and driveshaft done for $800 which i though was pretty damn cheap. got a couple pics but ill wait to post everything up all at once being as we got side tracked and only did the rear, which i must say looks pretty damn funny

the best part of this deal though is im gettin his 4" for one of my trucks and the wheels and the 33s that used to be on it for about $200 and the twisted bumper in my garage cause i put my roll pan on... i love being a cheap ***

up until the 99 model year then all fullsize trucks are 6lug and 2500-3500 are 8lug no more 5lug after new body style

the 88-98 is 5lug-2wd 6-lug-4wd 8lug-HD

haha yea i know, i had a lil help with that

yea i couldnt get any bites on it for wat i wanted it for, couple kids said yea ill come check it out.... and ya know how that goes

ive had this 4wd chassis layin around forever and i figure, well hey my buddies puttin his 8" on, might as well ask him how much he wants for the 4", he said help me out and ill give ya it all... so wtf couldnt pass that up, then i noticed how almost brand new his wheels and tires are and was like ahh what the hell might as well ask him how much he wants for em and he said give me the bumper off your truck and you can have em for $200, i mean there pretty decent wheels and the tires probably have like 3000 miles on em and their 32s so this should motivate me a lil to do some body swappin
