hi all! I'm new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Jon, I'm located in Salt Lake City Utah and I have a 1998 Blazer ZR2. Great truck with just a tick over 170k miles on it. It's been a great second car and a lot of fun to drive on the weekends. It's mostly stock except for the addition of roller-rocker vortec heads, K&N drop in, brush guard w/KC daylighters, taillight guards, bug and rain guards, larger rear shackles, 99+ style mirrors, heavy-duty clutch, and of course the all-too-common LineXesque flares and rockers.

Very clean Zr2. How is it running with that many miles on it?

Thanks for the compliments. It actuall runs very well, it just suffers from the characteristic powerloss of an older 4.3. I believe it is a combination of increased engine noise confusing the knock sensor and possibly a worn distributor gear. I'll tinker with it as the summer progresses.
Indeed, it just has 2" lift shackles and a little bit of a torsion bar crank. Ground to flare clearance is about 37".
