ok so is it different for a 95 blazer? and how would i know if i need to do this. also if i do do this, what size rim and offset for a 31 inch tire woulf be best, in order to not rub the fenders? i noticed the first post said "with stock rims" it will rub. im trying to give my blazer a wide look. maybe wheel spacers+what rim?

For your year, I believe you dont have to extend any wires. Just some brackets for the bumpers and remote oil filter. Oh and you might need to extend your gas filler hose, but that will come with the kit. As for the wheels, you can get cragar soft 8's or pro comp rock crawler wheels with a 4.5" back space and you wont have any rubbing issues.

Just to be fair and to prepare you, I forgot about my shift linkage issues when I made my last post, I chose to not fight with the shift linkage extension fab and slapped a B&M floor shifter in (took about 20 minutes max), problem solved.

I don't know if this is a common problem or not, but I installed the Rough Country 2" lift and the new upper C/A's did not last long. The bolt holes rounded out and now nearly all of my brand new front suspension components are worthless... Has anyone else heard of or had this problem? I am thinking if I dont go higher I will have the local fabricating shop either repair them or make stronger copies. Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen the torsion keys snap into 3 peices on a Rough Country 2" lift and the shocks ride like death, (papacope), but thats about it.

Multiple threads have been made regarding this same question. If you want a 2" "cheap" lift, just get 2" shackles and crank your torsion bars 1.5".

To fit 32s with just a supension lift u would probably get away with a rough country or superlift 2" kit, not a huge kit so not too expensive. You might wanna do a little trimming on the inner fenders to help with rubbing
