I'm sure this is a dumb question, but what makes the ZR2 sit so much higher than the LS Blazers? Is it a factory suspension lift? Body lift? Just curious. Help me if you can.

2" larger tires (netting 1" of height) and a 2" factory suspension lift.

Right... the suspension lift is acheived by modified mounting points on teh frame for the suspension.

Isn't that kinda like saying what gives a F150 it's lift?

The ZR2 is a completely different vehicle than an S10 blazer to me (different frame, different axles, the tires/wheel wells difference..).  It's not really a 2'' suspension lift if the mounting points are different from where they lie on a S10 blazer...it's a different suspension setup right?

Edit:ok maybe not completely different, but it's obviously different enough you have to buy parts specific for a ZR2 as opposed to S10 blazer...different enough
