Hey im new to this forum, I was wanting to make my 98 4x4 blazer look like a Zr2. Ive read up on other forums and stuff and I know there is no way to make it just like one. I was just wondering what type of fender flares I can get that will look like the Zr2's and where I can get them at.. And I cant find a suspension lift anywhere for it, I guess thats what I need to lift it to look like a Zr2 right?

Look into the bushwacker fender flares... they're probably the closest you'll get to the ZR2 flares.
As far as lift... try the performance accessories PRF152 2" body lift and a set of 31" BFG AT's... you'll be sitting almost exactly the same as the ZR2 (aside from the width of the axles).

The ZR2 is a suspension lift. However, there are no worthwhile 2" suspension lifts on the market for the s-series right now. So your best bet is the body lift, as it'll permanently keep the tires away from the fenders.

ZR2s are 3'' wider on the axles correct? So you would need a rim with 4.5'' of backspacing to equal ZR2 stance, or 1.5'' spacers with stock rims.

They're 4" wider. I think you'd run into a bit of trouble fitting the 31's though with the full 2" on each side, front and rear... since the wheel wells on the non-zr2 aren't as wide as the zr2's.

Ah...yes without a doubt that'd tricky. I've had enough trouble runing the 30x10.50s with my 4.5'' bs rims!

I was also thinkling about doing the same to my 01 LS blazer, but I wasn't try to skimp out on the lift with a body lift. I really dislike how body lifts look but they will save you a good bit of cash but you would notice the space being shown from the body lift if you lined it up next to a Zr2.
Jigg is just trying to hustle some body lifts off his site haha just kidding.

 Hardly... i sell the 2" suspension lift too, and actually make more money off of that.
I'm a firm believer in the 2" body lift being a much better lift to fit larger tires (hence the fact that i have one on my truck along with 33's). With the 2" suspension lift, you can still stuff your bigger tires up into that opening that you were trying to get away from. With a 2" BL, you can stuff them 2" less than before.
As long as you keep your frame in decent shape, the 2" BL doesn't look bad at all.
dubb... I know where you can get the bushwackers... shoot me a pm.

Not sure what the price through Jiggs hook up is, but EGR makes a set of fender flares for the 4-doors.
Runs $320

The egr flares are nice, but they look a lot less like the ZR2 flares than the bushwackers do.

plus, if you don't like the look of the frame you can throw some nerf bars or rock sliders on there to cover them up a bit.
