Yep. Thats what lets you move the fender liner back. 

 

Gotcha. I wasn't sure how far toward the frame that bracket extended.

Thanks! And it’s the 5.3.

I noticed after I put a set of  TG2's 285-50-22 (= 33.27-11.69) on my stock wheels with 2' level I had enough room with minor trimming (if at all) to go with the 285-55-22 (= 34.37-11.69).  I was afra

This is how I cut my mid mud flaps after pulling the liner back. I still rub a tad though. I’ll need to either do more trimming or try and pull it back a little more

I put ridge grappler 315/70r17 on my leveled Sierra and had to trim a a lot more. Not sure if it’s because of the wheel size. On the drivers side I will slightly rub the frame if I hit a bump at the right angle and speed. 

 

Are you just running a leveling kit? How does your truck handle the weight of the tires? Are you 5.3 or 6.2? Also what is your wheel width and backspace?

Yes, it has a 2” upper strut level. It handles awesome. I honestly haven’t really noticed much of anything with the weight. I think I’m hovering around 18 mpg combined highway and around town.  It’s the 5.3, plenty on power for everything I do. Wheels are 17x9 with a -12 offset

Looks really good. I’ve been trying to decide on either the 4” or 6” BDS with coil overs. I’m not a fan of making the truck higher than I have to. You’re running the exact tires I want to run. I’m in an SLT with a 6.2 10spd. Thinking about 20x9 or 22x10 with about the same offset.

Why’d you decide on 17” wheels? It looks awesome

With a 4” lift you probably wouldn’t need to do any trimming. I’m not positive, but I’ve also heard the Chevy has more wheel well space, so things should fit better. 
 

I went with the 17 because I like the off-road Baja style look better. Everyone around me has 20’s so this was something a little different.

Makes sense! I like it man. Mines a GMC too, hard to find any running less than a 6” lift & 35s. Either a level or 4” lift and 35s is almost impossible to find. Appreciate the info

I really debated going with a 4” so I could handle 35’s. I might be able to make them work with a skinnier tire. I don’t feel like a 4” is too big if it’s not an at4. 
I also looked into the BajaKits pre- runner kit that would allow 35’s to fit just fine

I'm running nitto 35x12.5 22 on stock 22inch wheels. Has a 2.5 inch level on it. Had to remove mud flaps completely after trying trimming them, zip tie back the liner, and do a norcal mod. At full lock the lugs on the side of the tire will still rub the sway bar.

After some trimming of mud flaps, removing bracket behind fender liner, and tying the fender liner back. Rubbing is gone. So if you’re not scared to trim some plastic it can be done. I think it looks good, let me know what you think. I knew worked on at4, couldn’t find anyone to confirm if would fit a standard level.

Do you think they would clear with a 2” level and 1.5” drop shackles?

      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.
