Hey my '03 2dr blazer is just c-notched right now and I got a step notch made to lay 20's, now I have a 2link in there but when I rebag it should I keep the 2link or do a 4link and if I do a 4link what kind should I do, Which one would be "easier"?So far I haven't had any problems with my 2link and I've had it for 3yrs, and another thing if I get fenders froma trailer place is that gonna be cheaper than say SD? Thanks guys for all your help and advise!!!

Fenders from a trailer place will be cheaper but you have to weld sides on, maybe widen them and bodywork them smooth. For $90 a pair, the welded and metal finished SD ones are well worth it IMO.

Personally I'd say forward 3 or 4 link it. What kind and how you set it up will depend on what you want out of the truck and what your space limitations are...

Cool yea maybe I'll go with with the SD fenders, um as far as what I want out of it I just want something reliable, lol, as far as a foward 3link/4link goes how much harder are those to do than a 2link? Thanks for your help!!

I'd rather not back half it, but thanks for the suggestion (not being sarcastic) I should've put this in the original post but this will also be my first time bagging it, the first bag job was done by my friend Ray at mind to metal, and I was re bag it myself this time so I can take a lil more pride in my truck, and... This is also my daily so..yea, just throwing that out there Thanks again guys for all the help/advise!

There was a tech article in Mini Truckin a while back where they did a parelell 3 link with a panhard bar on the rear of a Blazer. The truck was an older model but the ideas would be similar to what you would need to do. I believe that they backhalfed it but you could just do a standard notch and crossmember setup on yours. As far as the trailer fenders go I think they look better than the suicide doors fenders because they have the rolled edge as opposed to the 90degree edge on the SD fender. Capping the insides isnt really a big deal to do on the trailer fenders, I just did a set and it took a few hours but it saved a few dollars of my friends build budget.I'll look in my stack of MT zines at work tomorrow and check out witch month it was. Hope this helps you out a bit anyways.

And on another note are those SD control arms worth it? I'm gonna keep my 18's up front so would it be worth it for me to buy those? Thanks again guys!
