So I've being some research for a comfortable 22in tire size. A 305/45/22 seems to be comparable to a 32.8" tire (close to 33 series).

Also another question. My Blazer is the 2wd drive 4door version. Rough Country make the 2" suspension lift for the 2wd's. But I also noticed that they make a 2.5" suspension lift for the 4wd. Can I use the 2.5" suspension lift on a none 4wd blazer?

The 4wd and 2wd front ends are completely different. I think companies make lifts for 2wd pretty cheap

I'm ready to make the jump. Two shops are not up for installing the body lift. They say I want be happy with the body lift saying I'll be complaining due to the noises body lifts make.

I want both, what are the cons for body lift?

Ok thanks, I kinda figured that much. I think next week I have some down time. Me and my father in law are gonna try and tackle the 2" suspension lift ourselves. Hopefully I can save $600 bucks.


I lucked up on one shop that will do the body lift. I have to wait until March since they have a waiting list.

Body lift is actually easier than the suspension lift. After you do the suspension lift you`ll be ready to do the body lift yourself

Got my suspension lift done today. Love the new ride height. Next up 2" body lift. Still shopping around for a good tire package if anyone has some recommendations.

Here is a few pictures, it's not the best of pics. I still have stock tires on it. Waiting on doing the 2" body before I go get the tires. Also im in the process of plasti diping in all black. I've done the side steps, front and back bumber, rear door and misc black trim.

I like the new height and can't wait to take it up another 2". I feel im driving a truck now.
