Did you go with a 4" or 6" from bds? Any pics?!

I went with the four inch kit. Install was a breeze and quality is top notch. Here it is with the OE wheels and Cooper Zeons in 275/60r20. Fuel Hostage and Toyo AT's in 295/60r20 will be here next week. I'll be installing the pocket style flares when the wheels show up. Thinking about 1.5" spacers for the rear wheels too.

Thanks, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Thats the route I'm gonna go.

 

How do i know what offset the rims need to be when i buy them? I know i want 18's I just don't know anything else about rims.

When i get the BDS lift does anyone know if i need to extend the break lines as well? Im looking to purchase and install everything this fall and want to buy everything at the same time. I just don't know what "extras" i need beside the lift, rims and tires. Thanks

No need to extend any lines or wiring (or buy new hoses). Kit comes 100% complete. You relocate a few brackets to drop those items.

If your buying new wheels anyway, why do a spacer? I had spacers on stock jeep wheels, I didn't have any real problems, but put on wheels with proper backspacing as soon as funds allowed. Just seemed ify with a set of lug nuts you cant easily check hidden behind the wheel.

I'm only looking to space the rear wheels. I'm not a huge fan of spacers, but I want to be able to rotate my tires to keep them wearing properly. Spacers make more sense to me than wheels with different offsets.

anybody experiencing a radial pull to the right running TOYO MTs???

Try swapping your front tires to see if the pull goes to the left. That will tell you if it's a tire. Double check for equal tire pressure before you go that far though.

I don't know about a pull, but I have a vibration they can't get rid of after I put on Toyo Open Country. It's driving me nuts. I have had the tires balanced 2 times with a speed balancer. Now I'm gonna try a load force balancer. I hope that works cause I don't even like driving it right now.

I just ordered spacers for the rear. I'll let you know how they work out. They should be here weds.

I have the 7-9 Mcgaughys lift set at 8. I'm running the 22x12 -44 Fuel Nutz wheel, with the 35x12.50x22 mud gripper. The truck sits almost perfectly level. I'm also running 1 1/2 spacers on the rear wheels.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
