Thanks guys,

Any suggestions on the cheapest way to bring her up about 2 inches?

I've been a nissan(maxima) guy for many years, but have been bitten by the truck bug with this one. I always loved the body style of this year model chevy.

Actually on these trucks a suspension lift is cheaper. Get lift shocks and t-bar keys, then get shackles for the rear. Blocks will not work because the axle is on top of the leafs.

Talking

I just told you wrong. I was thinking I was in the S10 & Blazer section. Blocks will work.

AutoZone has good blocks.
I think they have both machined aluminum and coated steel blocks. I have aluminum blocks on both my Silverado and Blazer.

And BTW, I know a woman from Crossville. Her name is Rachel. Don't know if she still has her 94 Blazer or not. She is a member of the Blazer forum that I used to frequent before I became admin here.

Aaaand... not to disappoint you guys.... Got some new pics of the Silverado. Not bad for a 13 year old truck is it?

How's the paintjob on that?
Or did you get it redone.

My '97 has quite a few chips in its paintjob
but you can't really see it until you get kind of close to the truck.

The paint is new and perfect on it.
Brand new base/clear as of early last year. It was fully painted. Engine bay, interior, underbody. everything. The trim/chrome is all brand new GM trim. Aluminum tailgate trim is new too. That was the hardest to find.
