I would try to reduce that amount of BL if at all possible. 3" is usually the borderline of being unsafe.


But nice rig

I have an extra 6inch full spring lift sitting in my garage for one of these so I might swap that in and cut a little bit and get some 42's under it or something. I might just sell it too. I dont know yet. It handles great on the road though surprisingly.

Nice...I was worried it was gonna be an S-10/S-15 Blazer/Jimmy there for a second. Unless you like swapping parts, I'd keep away from them.
The fullsizes are sweet though. Nice Rig!

Check the body mounts and the metal around the body mounts. it is known to rust out and pull out the mounts, leaving the cab barely bolted to the frame. My buddy has the same year but it's a chevy blazer. It has a 3" bl too, and 5" suspension lift on 35's. 4 of the rear body mounts have ripped right off the body and frame leaving it un-drivable.



Looks good though
