If i were to put 1.25" spacers on the front and/or rear , would that allow me to have more clearance and run a larger tire ? BTW- I will be cutting my fenders like the cc's are cut for the skidz flares .

I have heard that if I go with a 5-6" IFS lift then I will be replacing balljoints and cv's every year or more . True ?

I am thinking of a 5-6" IFS lift in the future . For those who have had the ifs lift , do you think it was worth it or would you just skip it and do the sfa ? How much would it cost to have some one install a SFA like that compared to a 5-6" IFS lift ??

jeff.. is that with a stock offset rim ? you could probably get a 31" in there .

hmmm.... I don't plan on going on anything other than a rought logging road I won't be doing any rock climbing . I want it 75% for looks . I could get by with a 2"bl and 31's for the amount of offroading i would be doing , but I really like the way 33's with a 5" lift look .

alrighty then . I guess if they don't know what i am talking about i shouldn't let them touch my truck then . Thanks for your help !

sounds good , I don't have any perfectly flat ground to measure it on so I will just stop at a alignment shop , it's time for one anyway . Would they have the correct specs to which it should be adjusted to ?

ummm .... ok that is what I will do but i don't understand anything on that diagram am I supposed to measure the distance between the 3 points and add the numbers up to get a total measurment ?

So I know that this is a CrewCab forum , but this place offers the best infomation on S Series trucks . Anyway . My 99 Blazer has a height of 31.5" on the front drivers side and 31" on the frontpassenger side BUT it is 33" in the rear ! Are my tbars sagging ? or is this normal . I have yet to look a...

so this composite is stonger than aluminum ? Did all s series 4x4's have the underside protectors ?or was it a option . Because i ahve a 4dr 4x4 and it has 3.73's and the same protection underneath that the zr2 has .

The zr2 has some upgrades that our reg trucks may never see , such as larger wheelbearings and hubs and of course the larger 8.25ring gear in the back . BTW , are the skid plates on the zr2 made of metal ? because i have skid plates all under my truck but they are made of this high strength 1/4" pla...

So i was washing my truck today and found hundreds of tiny 1/16-1/8" " Y " shaped cracks on my hood and a small patch about 1"sq. of really small "y" cracks . I don't know if this is common but the paint on my truck has nothing but the best care since i owned it . Paint cleaner, polish and wax twice...

well ya don't put zr2 badges on it . Thats like lowering a F150 and calling it a Lightning .
I am trying to make a 4dr " zr2" but it will not have the zr2 badges because it will be better than a zr2 , hopefully .

the above is true , but you could make a look alike zr2 easily and you could make a s10crew or blazer better that a zr2 pretty easy to .

Didn't the 2nd gens go until 2005 ? because you can now get a 05 blazer for like 15grand !

crappy , i guess that will put the lift outa my budget . oh i well i will wait and see what happens .

still no lift and a 31" tire is pretty good for the s series wheelwells . It would look even better if it had about 2-3" of lift to give the tires more room to show .

Do you think it is possible to run a 33" tire if you were to add a 2"Bl , TbarCrank and shackles ? I can't tell but if the wheel opening is larger it may be possible to do so and that would be a cheap way to run 33's ! oh and if you don't know what to paint them with or what color . You could try he...

After being informed that a 5-6" lift is not too much more expensive than I originally thought it would be ( professional install ) I am thinking of going that route with my 1999 4dr Blazer . But.... I am getting mixed answers in regards to wether or not I need to buy a new Front Drive Shaft ! . Cou...

I don't mean to hijack your post but....this maybe of interest to you to .
How much does it cost to have someone install a kit like this ?

so what size tire/rim are you running ? and do you have any lift ?

That sucks that they are out of production , Bub is going to be eventually be working on making some for the 4 doors but it takes time . That is a nice blazer though . I won't be doing a 5"lift since this is my dd and I wont ever use such a lift to its potential . ps> would adding rear 1.5" spacers ...

is this before or after the install of the flares ?

cool thanks for the help . sorry it's such a newbie question

I did , its just that the slot that the arm goes through is not wide enough to allow the blade to pull off .

I am stumped . i can't get them off ! any help ?

well it looks like the guy who made the cutouts for the cc's is working on some for the blazer . and he is just down the road from me too . I will wait and see what he comes up with . I may beable to run a 31 with no lift at all !

So you are running a 30.7" tire ( 31's ) with the above mentioned mods with the flares ? if i were to get some bushwacker flares , would it cover up the area where i may have to trim ?

ok thanks , here is some more info then . I will be using the stock Zr2 style rim , and will not be doing any major offroading , it is just for looks since i hate the way it looks like a van now ! . I will probably use a Goodyear MT tire or a BFG MT . And I am currently tryin to find some fender fla...

I have a 99 Blazer 4x4 , I know not a CC but similar suspension . I see some people that can run 31"s with the combo listed above , and some that CAN't . IF anyone has some info , with facts and/or pics to back it up that would be great . I don't want to buy all the part and then find out I can clea...
