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. _____________________________ 1996 Blazer LT 4x4 2" PA Body lift 1.5" shackles/ 1.5" T-bar''''s cranked 32" Sport King A/T Brute Force CAI 2.5" stainless steel magnaflow cat back Taurus e-fan Ford 8.8" rear end (4.10) Wait4me Tune http://www.cardomain.com/id/Millert (in reply to Tippman7641) Post #: 2

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 : http://www.blazerforum.com/forumid_240/tt.htm < Message edited by nj4x4blaze -- 12/5/2007 10:02:36 AM > _____________________________ Dave- 01 blazer 4x4, 6" Superlift Kit,15x8 on 32''s and 20"x9" on 33''s,New Jersey Chapter www.subsonickustomz.com NJ,MI,IN,WI,IL,CO,MN,AZ,NC, (in reply to Tippman7641) Post #: 4

Worth, TX Status: offline 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 MORE INFO      << Rocky Mountain Suspension i think the Hunter Bull Bar looks better than the Westin. < Message edited by otnietdehoooo -- 12/13/2007 7:48:09 AM > _____________________________ Matt - 98 4DR 4WD click me!

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 < Message edited by nhvff57 -- 2/29/2008 8:44:35 AM > _____________________________ Brad King- 1999 Blazer 2dr 4wd (in reply to otnietdehoooo) Post #: 10
