Thanks for response, noticed adjustable/lift coils for front.
somebody i'am sure has already replaced OEM with another
vehicle coil that works for this application/situation.
Did like the rear air bagsat site, will be re-installing trailer hitch, so
rear sag willl need air bag assist when loaded, thanks.
Still looking.

I'm getting a custom made bumper for my blazer that has a class 3 hitch built right in for less than the hitch would cost me alone.

I do have welder friends, one whom is doing the job, but it should be reasonable for everyone to get made up. It's only some round pipes, and some box steel

Sorry Jeff I'd rather just send you a photo of it. What I didn't say is it took me 6 months to get my welder to make it up, and I'm just getting ready to leave on a 1 month holiday so I don't have much time for dealing with him. He's good but semi-retired, and only does what he wants, when he wants

You should really be able to get any local welder to do it.

If your stuck I'll see what I can do though

People are sleeping in this house then, so I shouldn't really talk on the phone then.

I might even be on line as early as 10, when I can have my mic hooked up
