Figured I'd throw up a pic right after finishing a complete 2 day detail with Adams Polishes. Great stuff!

I highly recommend it. :thumbs:

With the Glide-Ride springs, did they install with the stock blocks or did BDS supply a replacement block? Also with those springs does your truck sit below level, level or higher in rear than front?

Thanks much Sean.

Nice. Waiting for my 7-9 kit, 20x10's and toyo rt's.. thinking about upgrading the kit to coil overs as well, but can't figure out what size, or how to get them. I'm assuming you added the 1.5 BL because you rubbed with the 6" kit, I'm going with the same wheel/tire combo as you, will the lift set at 7 rub?

When I leveled my truck I swapped out the stock rear blocks with ReadyLift 2" blocks to maintain some rake. I used those 2" blocks in place of the stock blocks with the Glide ride springs for the same purpose. Rear end sits prob 1.5" higher than the front. BDS doesn't supply the blocks with the springs as they typically have you reuse the stockers.

Yup. Had slight rub at full crank in reverse. Not bad but annoying none the less. The BL did the trick. At 7" you may be close as my shop told me that trucks with the coil over kits typically sit a bit higher than the lift specs note. I was hopeful but no dice for me.

8" would be a safer bet I'm thinking if you only want to do it once. 7" may be a close gamble.

 

Mine rubbed at rear of front fender wells and not just the plastic. Would've had to trim sheet metal which I didn't want to do.

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to set this up so I get the look I want, and still be able to pull through a 7' door. I think at 8" I will be rubbing the ceiling. This is gonna be tight. Any chance you have photos before you did the flares? You can text, or email if it's easier. Thank you,

Sean

Unfortunately I don't have pics without the flairs with the lift and wheels as they were installed at the same time. Sorry man.

New Access cover today!!

IMG_0087_zpsbysggbyc.jpg

Is that the Lorado? Reason I ask is that mine seems to be a bit long from left to right where it's hard to keep it tight... But yours seems a lot less.. Especially drivers side back corner just to the right of the Z71 decal... That almost looks short... I know the access' have adjusters but I just haven't messed with them yet... Been 18 months and love it...

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      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.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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.
