ok what i have is a 2001 blazer. it is a 4dr. 4x4 automatic. I have heard that these roll kind of easy so that is my only holdback on lifting it. If i lift it im only doing 2 inchs. if i lower it i want at least 4 in. can i get some feedback or suggestions on this??

Thank you

Lowering does not look gay. In fact it can look really good like in that picture. I say since you have 4x4 to lift it up though.

I looked into a lift for my Blazer. Youre going to spend about $600 for 2". Superlift and Rough Country make 2" lifts, Trailmaster makes a 5" lift, and Superlift makes a 6" lift. The 6" is about $1800 if I remember right. Belltech makes a 3/3 drop kit for 4wd, about $160 on stylinconcepts.com

Oh, and they dont roll that easily, I've done some crazy sh*t in my Blazer and only lifted a wheel once.

How about a suspension lowering kit with the tallest body pucks you can find. Then add dome killer 24" rims.

I dont know,i guess if you lower it 3" and then put a 3" body lift, you would be back at stock height.

Well, my gf and I just saw a lowered JEEP the other day with what looked to be about 33's running under it...THAT was GAY!

I always say if it's 4x4 to lift, but there are a lot of people in here that can tell you that lowering it works, too. I have seen some of the lowered stuff in here, and as much as I am not a fan of lowering vehicles, I do have to concede that when done properly, they look good.

I checked very carefully. Leave it like it is and you'll be noticed for being "different", cause nothing has been done to it.

Repair whats going to deteriorate soon and save the rest for a good time.

Take your best family and friends out for a good nite on the town and pay for all of it. Remind them thats because you didnt spend the money on your truck.
