I should just run them like 99.9% of americans. But we like to take short cuts, half-ass stuff, and take the easy way out of situations. So we flipped the headers lol.who knows where it'll end up exiting! YAY.

I by no means want to appear to be bashing Lackey's Blazer because I honestly think it is one of the cleanest built underconstruction rides out there right now. I can't wait to see it done.

My only question is in regards to the reverse 4 link setup. Was there a particular reason for setting the Blazer up that way? I have heard nothing but issues from reverse 4 setups in regards to pinion and tranny/driveline issues. How will it work as a driver? Or is this Blazer ever going to be a driver or a trailer truck?

No diss, I am just trying to inform myself to make sure I haven't overlooked something.

I can take constructive criticizm, or in this case curiosity lol.
Man I'm middle of the road when it comes to reverse and forward 4links. I won't get into detail and I hope nobody else will on this post (feel like we're robbing the subject already)
The reasoning for running them backwards on my truck was simple... look at the floor. There would be NO way to keep a nice low 'stock' floor by running bars forward. Same reason we ran the frame under the axle, just to save room.
Now as for drivablitiy... well I don't build the things, but Saliba has build PLENTY of s-dimes around town that run the same reverse 4link setup and most have been on the road for 2-3 years now with ZERO probs. And these young'ns are out there pounding these trucks as daily drivers. So I trust the reverse setup if done properly, I know its not the best but it works. And in the blazers case, it won't see many cross country trips or any time on the 1/4 mile for that matter lol, but it will get driven. i promise.

Your Blazer is seriously one of the baddest trucks out there IMO.
