Can you post photos of your Blazeland setup once it's all installed? And what have you decided to do about your steering system? I'm getting darn close to pulling the trigger on LT setup.

Can you let us know how the truck handles on-road as well as off? I'm curious about how these long arm kits influence high speed freeway manners.

It looks like you have a super clean 1st gen! Nice build man!

The steering system will remain mostly factory, the Blazeland kit comes with extended adjustment sleeves to accommodate the added length. I have an old Downey Idler arm brace which i will be putting on as well. I just installed new inner and outer tie rod ends a few months ago.

I plan on taking tons of pictures during the install and will be sure to post them here.

Thanks for the compliment! I love this truck. I only wish it had more power for highway driving.

The Blazeland kit came in the mail yesterday. I had planned on doing the install this weekend, but found something that may cause delays unless i can get it sorted out today. I have two alignment cams that are completely seized. There is a guy local to me who says he may have a couple that he can spare, don't know what he wants for them but i hope i can get them today.

Looks like I can buy them from Summit and Jegs for about $35 per cam bolt. That's a bit more than i want to pay for what is essentially a bolt with a flat section machined into it.

Found out two of my alignment cams were seized a couple of days ago. Managed to get ahold of a local guy who had some parts trucks he let me raid for a price. Thank god for parts trucks. Anywho, moving forward with the install this weekend. Just a shot of everything together

Began the install Saturday morning around 9:30 am. Managed to get everything disassembled with the exception of the seized alignment cam bolts. Turns out sawzall blades rated for metal aren't rated for anything like the bolts i was dealing with. Spend a solid 6 hours cutting away at these things. Used up about 15 blades. Sunday morning i picked up a set of Diablo Carbide tip blades... they did the job in 15-20 minutes.... the 1000th lesson i've had on using the right tool for the job.

anywho! ran into some issues when swapping the current setup to the Blazeland setup.

1. The blazeland setup used the factory torsion bar to UCA bolts, i had Ranch mid-travel control arms which (unbeknownst to me) used different bolts. needed some grade 8 hardware quick. 1/2-13 3.5 inch bolts will fit (rather snuggly... Lowes didnt carry metric grade 8 hardware)

2. The mid-travel shock tower and Blazeland LCA shock tabs position a shock to interfere with the UCA in almost every position of travel. I will need to weld in new shock tabs in a different location on the LCA

3. The beefed up center-link on my truck positioned the inner tie rods roughly 3 inches inboard of the factory position. When i was trying to get the truck aligned i had toe in really bad and couldn't figure out why. Had to swap to a factory center-link

All of these issues had to do with owning a truck that was modified by the PO and not having a complete idea of how the parts would work with the Blazeland kit. The Blazeland kit itself was great!

BUMP! Please!

I almost got the rebuilt trans back in the new to me 88' runner, and I've been eyeballing the blazeland for awhile now.

How much lift would this front end set up give you?
