    Need to extend?

    Body lift wont affect brake lines/drive shafts. The steering shaft will need to be addresed depending on how much body lift you plan on going. I would start by ditching those front lift blocks as soon as possible for a b52 swap or a good set of lift springs. I'm not a fan of lift blocks at all...

    broken sway bar mount

    I had the same issue on my '85 burb. I took a cutoff wheel and cut the old rusted bolts of and replaced the sway bar mounts with red energy greasable bushings. The kit comes with new bushings and mounts with grease fittings. I got them at autozone off the shelf for about $20.00 and picked up...

    96 Tahoe seats in an 85 K5

    Old77 did a write up on his NBS seats in his truck. http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375 it might offer you some info. Should be easier in a blazer. Cause the floor is flatter than a pickup without the recess for the dual tanks.

    Bought an aftermarket tach

    I have a 5" monster near the pillar in my burb. While i dont mind it you do have to get used to it cause it does block a lil bit. In my 86 pickup i had it in the middle where it drops down and it was best there. Even though u had to look over a lil bit it was completly out of the way. Only...
