1987 Chevrolet Fullsize k5 Blazer with open headers first. Trail was mostly dried up so this was all i could do without getting SERIOUSLY stuck with no big rigs to pull me out. The k5 blazer wasnt wheeling today but he did pull me out twice..And he pulled out a friend who took his hyundai car around the back trail. As i was leaving i decided to pick a different rut and sunk it good. The k5 was spinning all 4s (sorry no video) and still barely got me out. Specs - 1998 Chevrolet Extended Cab Pickup K1500 "The Z71" 350/5.7l vortec v8, 2 inch suspension lift, 285/75/16 nitto terragrapplers (all terrains). 1987 Chevrolet Fullsize Blazer (k5) TBI 350/5.7 , 2 inch lift, 35x12.50x15 Kumho Mud Terrains.

Nope. If you take the header or manifold off entirely it will.

i love a K5. So...straight headers? If i'm not mistaken won't that burn the hell out of your exhaust valves

ohhh. well im used to dealing with an old zj, which has front AND rear coils, control arms, trac bars, and sway bars. so doing anything suspensionwise is hell on my wallet. wish i had leafs, they make it a hell of a lot cheaper and easier..

No spacers made for a z71, it has rear leaf and front torsion. But it was entirely free... Cranked the torsion bars a little bit in the front (but no downward travel, not much anyway), and add a leafs in the rear that my uncle gave me.

me and my buddy both have jeep suv's. he has a 3inch lift 92 cherokee and i have a 4.5 inch lift 95 grand cherokee, and we both have bfg a/t's and love them. you can almost always rock yourself out. by the way, do you have a real suspension lift of the budget boost? like the polyurethane spacers?

my dad had a 87 Silverado side step.. it was mint . until we had the great idea of mud bogging.. it was all down hill from there.
