Cummins Swapped K5 Blazer goes to Moab

Our trip to King of Hammers this year involved a stop in Moab, Utah for some exploring and wheeling. Had a great time and can't wait to go back.

I would love to learn more about this build ? 👀

[@chriswells991]

I'll do a walk around on it soon!

[@tinkeringtimmermans5249]

Do you notice the extra weight up front off road? Does it change the centre of gravity or handling substantially?

[@chriswells991]

Being lifted with the 5.9 and no sway bar it is for sure more tippy. I'm sure some better front springs and a sway would help substantially.

Do a vid on the build...did you strengthen the frame??...i have an 87 k10 needs motor

[@chriswells991]

I added reinforcement to the steering gearbox area. Other than that, frame is stock.

​@@chriswells991what's the junkyard lift?

[@chriswells991]

I dunno, pulled it off of a parts blazer I bought. Has a block in the rear and unknown springs up front@@Rays_Bad_Decisions

[@obijuankenobi420]

You think a 4bt would do ok in a K5 ?

[@chriswells991]

Probably just fine. Turning up the power on it though would probably wouldn't hurt
