You can get a 2" or 3" body lift for under $150 shipped to your door depending on what year your blazer is. Then you could clear 31's. Also could do shackles and crank the torsion bars up a little to get another 1.5"-2", but it will cause your front end to wear a little faster. If you do a search on torsion bars you'll see what I mean.

Yea body lift is the cheapest way to go.. I'm not a huge fan of the whole cranking the torsion bars because of all the front suspension wear it causes..
Oh yea BTW check out this section of the forum for additional info :

body lift comes with 10 spacers and assorted accessories like bumper relocation brackets and tubing to extend gas filler neck...
2" suspension lift kit comes with new upper control arms and torsion bar keys and add-a-leaf's. they say with new UCA's, it wont increase ball joint wear or any of that stuff but the CV shaft angle is still increasing which isnt good.
you can do your own suspension lift by buying shackles or add-a-leafs for the rear and crank the t-bars up for less than $100
i think millertime has a body lift and a DIY susp lift

i think the Hunter Bull Bar looks better than the Westin.

thats a ZR2 so, yes its lifted compared to yours, but it doesnt appear to be lifted from stock ZR2 suspension. i believe the bar has brakcets for lights. $150 stainless steel and $120 black powder coated

Not to change the subject but millertime, is your top row of lights just mounted onto the top rack cuz that looks sick. If you are looking at it from the side does it look weird since that rack is pretty far back?
nvm figured out how to get the rack further up
