in the picture that showes my whole truck the rear wheel is still not centered. my question is should i just leave alone or chop some more off the bed? i've already chopped 2" i think another 2-3" would be perfect. but its hard chopping the bed. i just want to know what you guys/girls think.

I didn't even notice that at first but I went back and looked, yeah I think it definately does need to be fixed. It's not super noticeable but once you notice it that's all you can see lol. The truck is freakin' sweet though man, I love everything you've done. Did you have to narrow the blazer frame to make it fit or is that something you did just for shits?

If you're bagging it, you could move the wheels forward and mount it with a 4 link if you'd rather not chop the bed. You'd have to have your driveshaft shortened, but it'll work fine.

that is a purty cool project, but i also think that you need to fix the rear wheel well issue, i noticed it right away and i think it kinda throws the truck off!

other than that, it is kick ass!!

If you can do body work you can cut in the center at the top of the wheel well. Cut straight up 2 1/2 inches then straight across 2 1/2 inches beyond the farthest point forward and then straight down. Move the panel to where you need it, and fill in the top. Sounds complicated, but it's pretty straight forward. By the way, great project, and the truck looks really good.

So did the frame go right under the luv body? or did you have to do any major mods. I understand that the body mounts probably had to be moved or modified.

What type of suspension you runnin right now? 2-link, 4-link? Cause you can't just chop up the bed to make the wheel look centered. Its uncenter due to the fact when you air out the bags, the rear axle is shiftin. When its aired out, the rear axle shouldn't move at all. If your runnin a 2-link, my personal opinion is to upgrade to a 4-link
