It certainly doesn't fit. It was right up against the garage. lol

I have the same problem. Once the cab is on it gets finished outside.

Same here. Mine has to resemble a working truck because my HOA is super strict.

That sux I'm out in the sticks nobody says anything up here.

It really isn't a big deal. Once I get the cab and bed painted and on the chassis, my tags are current so they'll go on. It will appear "operative as everything but the interior will be installed. Even then the interior won't take long. Won't even be noticed. lol

I'm not a lifted kinda guy... but it must be nice not to have to use ramps or jacks to change oil or anytime you need to work underneath!

I wasn't either, until I got this one. I crawled underneath and thought "damn.....why didn't I do this earlier in life".

Nice truck. Will all the big equipment, rocks and that wall....I thought it was a tonka truck from back in the day. No offense intended. Optical illusion....a bit.

Can't quite tell in the pictures but are those 8 lug axles or 6 lug? i've always wanted to run the 15x14s but know 15s don't normally clear the 8 lug brake system. just curious how you pulled it off if you're 8 lug

I love your Blazer. I've been wanting to get 4" ORD front springs to replace my 3" Tuff Country HD front springs then was thinking about doing a shackle flip on the rear so I can run 315/75 BFG KM3 tires (when they come out). I find myself on a lot of very rough trails at often 10 mph or less and my springs don't give enough at low speeds to soak up anything.

Can you tell me more about your front springs? Do they ride as well as they say they do? What type of shocks are you running? Is your front axle shifted forward at all?

What made you decide on their custom rear springs instead of just using the stock rear springs?

so I had an old and aged rough country 4" lift (spring up front and blocks in rear) on it before I went ORD. so that's what I'm comparing it against. I chose to go springs in the rear with a shackle flip for a couple reasons.

1. Stephen Watson at ORD said I should. and he knows square bodies lol
2. my springs were clapped out
3. I wanted 6" of lift. shackle flip is 3" and the ORD springs are 3"

they ride a million times better than my old setup. they soak up bumps like a caddy. I have not gone wheeling with them yet (I just got them installed yesterday). so I cant comment on flexing...but I suspect they will out flex anything I have had. ORD claims 14" of travel

they are 10 thin leafs in the pack as opposed to 3 thick leafs. so far I am incredibly impressed with them.

I am running tuff country 9000 shocks.

I did not move my front axle forward. the new spring packs pin is moved to the recommended spot which does appear to have moved the axle forward between 1-2". I did buy there offset plate and may install it in the rear so I can slide the axle back 1". but I wont be doing that until I get my driveshaft lengthened.

all in all it was expensive. very expensive. but I'm glad I went with there springs. I wouldn't do it any other way now that I drank the kool-aid
