Here are some pics of the new blazer. Added some new brakes and some used 33's. More upgrades to come. I'm planning a drop in locker in the rear, 9k lb winch with bumper, and probably a 4" tuff country lift with sway bar disconnects, rear shackle flip, and bilstein 5150's. Wish me luck!

Should be nice once you get everything done to it. You'll want lower gears though, and probably 35s.
 
Thanks for the comments. Saving regear and bigger tires for a 14bolt somewhere down the road. I don't wanna invest much on the 10 bolts.

How much winch do I need? The truck is listed at 4500 pounds. If I add 2 passengers and gear, minus doors, tailgate and roof, I will still be under 5000 lbs.
 
What gears are in it now?

I ran 33's forever on my K5 with 3.73s and it was fine, just no towing. Kept it out of overdrive unless over 65mph.

I have 35.5's (Q78 TSLs) on it now, and it will still go as fast as I want to push the vibrating Swampers. :) Seriously, I can tell a difference in power, but it is still fine, just use no OD at all.
