Ok so I was looking at this blazer: Click Me

From what it says on the page he is running the following "LIFT" wise:

2" Performance Accessories Body Lift
2.25" Custom Lift Shackles
1" Pro Comp Add-A-Leafs
1" T-bar Lift
Monroe MA-764 Long Travel Air Shocks

So if I were to do everything he did my truck would look as large as his? From the looks, it looks like a ZR2 which would explain why his truck looks higher up then "normal" even with the lift mods. What do you guys think?

Nice looking truck. Lifts are so expensive!

His login name on blazerforum.com is Jigg.  I searched and found this new member thread he started a few months ago.  Amazaing what a simple search can yield.

Hey Guys,
Yeah that's my truck.  With a non-ZR2 Blazer, you can do basically the same mods and run 32x11.50's and it'll look like this (which sits just a bit lower than my truck):







I wish i had some better pictures, it's my younger brother's truck, which sits really really nice for a non-ZR2 without a large suspension lift.

The non-z has the exact same specs as my BlaZeR2 aside from the AAL's (the pictures don't show the air shocks either).

Does this setup limit anything? No hard offroading etc? Put wear on other parts of the vehicle?

Is the T-bar lift replacing the keys? or is that just the rate a shop charges to crank up and measure the t-bar cranking? lol

No, the $50 was just the cost of an alignment after cranking them yourself.

The setup I have really has no real downside as far as i'm concerned.  My t-bars are still within factory specs, the truck rides a little stiffer, but that doesn't bother me at all.  It performs AWESOME offroad, the larger tires really help with clearance, not to mention the body lift keeping the body just a bit more away from obstacles.  The air shocks are adjustable and help with towing.  They also enhance articulation offroad (actually, that may be one downside, you'll experience a bit more sway on-road.  I don't drive like a maniac so it doesn't matter to me).

Larger tires will always put a bit more wear on the suspension and steering.  You'll go through idler arms, wheel bearings, and ball joints a little more often... but again, it's well worth it.

Jigg. ........You put 2.25" shackles but only an inch t-bar crank.  Was that just compensating for Blazer sag in the rear. I have a 05 so no sag as of yet

Yes and no, I had a bit of sag, but not all that much.  The rear end of my blazer sits 2" higher than the front end:

Two reasons:

1. Because i like having a little bit of rake to the truck
2. Because cranking the torsion bars any higher will put more stress on my front end and make the ride even stiffer.  The more you crank, the more likely you are to throw grease out of the cv-joints and to wear out your ball joints faster.

There a way to just have the t-bars mounted higher? Without cranking the snot out of them...
