axle flip on 02 zr2 blazer

[monsteram]

i wanna do a rear axle flip  heard it gives 5inches of lift in the rear.  how hard is it to do and if i crank up my torsion bars will the truck sit level?

[randycrane79]

not hard to do at all just flip axel up and change ubolts and no the front torsion bars wont raise ya that high ya have to buy a set of after market clock arms to do that

[monsteram]

clock arms? never heard of em before   is there a way i can put a block between the leaf spring and the bottom plate or would that not work?

[randycrane79]

clock arms are the torsion arms they wont go high enough and the rear axel you have to set the spring on top of the axel if you leave the spring under the axel and put a block in it it will lower your truck

So if I get both those ill be all good? How do I check the pinion angle is right

[Captn. J]

u wont be just good ... u will have pinion angle issues. maybe other stuff  maybe brake lines and etc  small stuff u re forgetting

[randycrane79]

yes thats just to get the lift that aint all there is to it
lots of little things that bite the ass

[monsteram]

ok  u guys recommend a shop to do it so its done right?

[randycrane79]

if ya never done it  and not sure ya can do it then yes dont get in over ya head not a good place to be

[Captn. J]

it s not hard to do ... shop re costly in long run unless u have a deep pocket

[monsteram]

right  id honestly rather spend more money and have it all done right since i've never done it before  esp when it comes to pinion angles etc  don't wanna be the guy who thinks he knows it all and it done completely wrong lol

[Mudduck]

As for rear i wouldnt worry about pinion angle cuz u.can set ur angle before u weld up ur perch to the axle tube but for the front i have no idea i dont deal w ifs

[Blazin40s]

best to do a sas on it....but if u stay ifs, u need to buy a good name lift kit.   Id say if u wanna go cheep do a 3inch body lift and you can run 33s.  Anything bigger and you will need to buy stock in cv shaft company.

[Blazin40s]

Didn't u just spend tons of money on a ram???  What happened to that truck?

[monsteram]

unlimited off road messed up  when the put new driveshaft in i kept snapping u joints, never fixed my tray  they charged me 6 times for pullin and bolt it back up  i paid for 5.13 gears and they put 4.10 gears in it   just kept haven to put a ton of money in it just to drive it and it gt to be to much so
