Ive been searching around, and it is very hard to find body lifts for a 2000 blazer. I found this on http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi-bin/suscon/152.html

but it says its for a s-10 which my blazer isnt. will it still work?

You're going to want to get the Preformance Accesories 2'' body lift kit, part number PA-152 if I'm not mistaken. Runs about $200-220.

I wasn't aware of any other body lift kits for our 2000s.

Edit: Which is exactly what you linked to. Get it!!!

Alot of places. Anywhere you see a link to an S-10 body lift. Your link works like 95BlazerLt4wd is saying, or you check out Rocky Mountain Suspension Systems.

Also Synergy Offroad stocks the PA kit, and I've talked to the service and parts guys at my favorite Chevy dealer and they have a vendor relationship with PA and will install the kit. He wouldn't give me a price, but said once I had the money for the kit we would discuss an install price.

Thanks for the help.

I just read over the instructions to install the lift. It seems farely simple, a few things i dont like to much, but o well. It definetly looks like a all day thing. Quick question, At school we have a lift, ive talked to the teacher and i could go in an use the lift on saturday, would a car lift make things easier? Harder?

wouldnt help at all.... you need to lift the body from the frame.. a vehicle lift lifts the frame as well..

I know you lift it by the frame, but couldnt you lift it from the body for the 2 inchs that you would need? Also thinkin that there are alot better tools at shool then i would have at home.

If you have not done it make sure that someone that has is there with you. I just had mine installed by a 4x4 shop and it took them all day. They had to fab the rear bumper brackets, because I had a stock tow package. There is also a lot of stuff off the front that has to come off, so be prepared to be there all day.

Yesss..I plan on doing it myself, but planning on saturday and sunday to get it on. I'll end up taking it to a shop though to get my trailer hitch fixed, as well as the bumper brackets strengthened. I don't like them having a warning that the brackets are only for appearances...I don't want to sacrifice safety or ability to have an extra 2''.

The rear bumper is still very strong on mine, there are 4 big bolts holding it on. But if you do have a tow package you will have to cut some of the bumper and fab the brackets to get it to look right. When are you planning on doing yours? And when are we going off roading?!?
