How were you able to run 35s without lifting it ?
I'm dreaming sometimes about the turbo also, but it costs like 1000 usd to get one isn't it ? And wouldn't know where to find one in Belgium. Neither to find somebody who can instal it.
I guess it makes the engine a little more fragile ?
With...
Thanks again for your very detailed answer !
Will the difference of top speed and acceleration be a lot different or is this only theoretic and I won't notice it a lot ?
I'm more concerned about the risk of breaking an axle.
I read lot of people who says that the gm 10 bolt of this truck , is...
I'm also still hesitating to take off my 33 tires and replace by 35s.
This gives a lift of 1" extra right ?
What are the issues you can have while using bigger tires ? Is it worse for the driveshaft ?
The car is slower also right ?
thanks already for your answers
Hi everybody,
I'm just back from my vacation your very nice country.
I'm very proud to tell you that I finaly could bring with me a lift kit ! ;)
It's not exactly what I hoped for but I guess it's not too bad. Instead of a Tuff country 3" I found a Procomp 4" lift kit with blocks in the...
It's not a big deal to order in the US but :
With transport and custom tax, the final price is just two time the orignal one that you guys pay. And if you want to return something because it's the wrong one, you pay again tax + transport...
I have been looking arround for a while, You can find a lot of information on k5. But this website and you off course, are the best information source I found till now for the M1009.
Despite it's the same car, base ; In my situation I can't take any risk on the final result.
Haha, thanks a lot for your psycologic analysis Doctor ! ;)
It's very true, I have to be sure about what I buy because I won't have second chance; I will pay like 200-300 usd to bring all of this with me + the risk that I'll have to pay custom tax if they catch me when I come back. I won't try...
Again something strange about the fitting problems that I'm stuggle with.
On the official website of Porcomp (more or same issue on tuff cournt's website) when you ask for a lift kit for a K5 of 84 with the 6.2 diesel engin ; they answer that they d'ont have any lift kit for this car.
But if...
Yes but tuff country doesn't have a 2.5" kit. They only have a 3" lift kit.
I'm not certain if 3" kit is so pretty as yours was with 33s. I have to see more see picutres of it.
But more important I don't want to break or change the driveshaft. I guess more higher you go and more chances you...
sorry I rember now, I have saved your pictures already! :)
But, you had to cut the fenders and put a shackle flip the back right ?
I love the result but I want something a little more easy to instal... :(
And I don't want to cut
Unfortunatly, I won't find anything here.
Trucks and custom trucks are very uncommon in Belgium. Very hard to find books or magazines about it.
There are maybe 5-10 truck like this one it the hole country.
Most of them d'ont ride anymore....
Find parts is a nightmare or very expesive.
Europe is...
Hi all,
I really apreciate your comments !
The 37s looks huge btw !!! :) So cool !
Honnestly I don't know if I want to run with 35s , first I wanted to keep my 33s but as more as I am looking at pics, the look of the 35s is nice !
Again, I'm doing all of this only for the look.
I don't...
Hi,
I thank you for your answer.
Off course I have ridden a lot of information about the normal K5 but even it does'nt solve my problem.
For example on the website of tuff cournty they write that it won't fit for diesel blazers altought ord is proposing me the same kit for my m1009.
I juste...
Hi everyone,

Tuff counrty looks for everybod a good...
I will,

ORD want to sell me this 48usd...
It give quickle a total different quote...
Hi,
You've got a 3" tuff cournty ?
with schalke flip in the back ?
I have contacted them and they sended me a quote , with blocks in my case because easier to instal and less weight for transport.
BUT I see on different websites that a tuff cournty kit cost more or less 550 usd. And they...
