Just finished the leveling kit on mine.        1 1/2 Motofab from eBay for $21. Went on in an hour and sits about perfectly level now

What are your measurements now: floor to center of fender? Front and rear? Whenever you have a chance if you could share that info that would be awesome. Preferably after alignment and suspension settlement lol [emoji4]

 

Did you install yourself? If yes how did you tackle it? Loosening tire rod end...upper and lower ball joints...and sway bar end links. Or did you follow the “easy way” you tube video where they only lift the truck and loosen the two lower strut bolts...remove and sneak in the spacer then install bolts.

I drove it about 40 miles this morning. Haven't done alignment yet. You would never even know I did anything from the driver's seat. Rides the same. Handles the same. Steering wheel is straight and it holds it's line with my hand off the wheel. In spite if that I'm still going to get it aligned as I assume it needs it and I don't want to wear out the outside edge of the tires. 

The height as of right now is 41.5 to the front wheel well and 40.75 to the rear. According to measurement I'm a bit too high in the front but it looks really nice to me!?

Did it my self. I've done probobly 5 of these over the years. So simple. Hour to hour and a half tops. It helps to have a helper. For me that was my 16 year old daughter.  Trying to get the spacer in and everything lined up to slide the bolt through takes a third hand sometime  Took upper tie rod apart. Loosened sway bar. That's it!

It looked more on the level  side before the lift. IMO, I would've left it as it was. Now the front end obviously looks higher.

If you stick a level on the top of the box side, it's still too low in the front. 

I've always lifted trucks based on level box sides not measurement off ground to wheel openings.  Old square body Chevy's in the 80's, the front wheel well was about 2 or 3 inches higher to the front wheel wells so you had to base level on the box. 

I think it turned out great and I wouldn't have wanted to go any less. Just my opinion!

I definitely like removing the fender badges/GM has gotten carried away here/way too big/out of place.

The rear I don't mind as much whether it's trail boss or 4x4.

“Trail Boss” is tame compared to some of the packages throughout the 70s and 80s. The “Gentleman Jim” has to be the worst...

That is both AWESOME and Embarrassing at the same time!

Thanks great info brother! My AT4 has a 2.5” rake from factory...I keep measuring and keep getting 38.25 front and 40.75” rear.

      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.

      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.
