Blazer 2.0

not 100% happy with my K5, it works well, but as always things can be improved upon.

as it sat last trip out for the Core Tour as haspin



Plan is to 3 link the front with 14" coilovers, redo part of the cage and add more to extend it all the way forward over the doghouse.



cleaned the axle up and too off all brackets. while it was out and down it got some maintenance like new u joints, and ordered new rubber lines for the brakes as the rest of the lines will be replaced anyway. in its new location, about 8" forward from stock putting me at around a 115" wheelbase.




Frame is all cleaned up and will be plated for strength from core support back to the body mount


main reason for plating, frame is kinked on both side, drivers side being worse than passenger at about the firewall. and the entire drivers framrail is twisted slightly as well which is hard to capture in pics.

plate the frame frame rails body mount to body mount today. i know its not the more prone to bending, but being as mine was already bent and my upper link will mount in that area along with the panhard the reinforcement was a good idea to keep it straighter.
