    52” front leaf spring setup

    Going to be putting 52” springs from the rear of my blazer in the front someday soon. It’s 4 leaves plus the overload currently. Mainly curious to see if others have left the overloads in or take them out for ride or flex. I know the 52s can be a little boaty in the front and aren’t the best...

    Rear shackle angle

    Got my 14 bolt underneath the blazer yesterday. I’m running 56” springs in the rear and using an ORD shackle flip kit. In my laziness I tried mounting the brackets backwards to see how the shackle angle looked vs drilling new holes. By flipping the brackets side to side i figured its not that...

    B-52 alternative

    Visited DIY4x website the other day and found out that they’re no longer making some of their smaller items. I had been interested in the B52 front spring hangers. I can’t seem to find anyone else who makes something similar. Anyone know of a company that makes a kit like that? Thanks

    Disc brake conversion help.

    They looked identical when I had them side by side, but I never actually put the new ones on the spindle so I guess that’s possible. Might just have to take everything apart again

    Disc brake conversion help.

    So kind of a weird issue here, I didn’t see anything about this in any other threads. Doing the disc brake conversion and everything went together great until I went to put the hubs/rotors back on the axle. Both sides need to go on like a 1/4-1/2 inch farther. All the bearings and races in the...

    M1009 CUCV alternator

    Does anyone have a part number or link for the correct alternators for an 85 m1009? I’ve found some online that say they’re the right ones but I’d just like to verify before I buy one since I know some parts for these can be hard to find. Thanks!

    Radiator mounts

    Anybody know of anywhere that sells radiator mounts to fit a 78 4x4? LMC says they’re on back order indefinitely, evilest sells them but they’re over $100 with shipping which feels a little pricey, and everything else I’ve seen you have to buy the whole body mount set.

    Military 6.2

    It is the right one that needs replaced, I didn’t look much into it but I had read somewhere that people had a lot of issues after converting to 12volt

    Military K5 exhaust

    I gotcha, I’m still gonna have to do something though. Doesn’t need to exactly be quiet, just don’t want to have to scream to someone in the passenger seat all the time

    Military 6.2

    Recently bought a military K5 with the 6.2 diesel, I know some of the parts are different from the civilian version. Does anyone know a part number for the alternators and or glow plug relay? None of the ones I’ve found make any designation between the military and civilian models. Thanks for...

    Military K5 exhaust

    So I recently bought a former military K5 to build as a weekend rock crawler. Needs a little body and electrical work but my main issue is the exhaust. It’s extremely loud, almost unbearable (atleast to me that is) drove it about 150 miles home and my ears are still ringing:thumbsdown: anyone...

    well I have a 78 K20 that’s currently in pieces so best of both worlds I guess!

    Going to look at a military K5...

    well I already have plans in the works for a Dana 60/14 bolt FF swap among many other things. Pretty much everything besides the motor and tranny is getting swapped out for something beefier!

    Going to look at a military K5...

    Hey all, I’m going to look at an 85 military K5 tomorrow afternoon. If I bought it the goal with this truck would be turning it into a weekend warrior off road vehicle. I was just wondering if anyone knew what transmission and transfer case the military blazers came with? Also if there’s...
