Exclamation 2001 blazer build 👍

Hey guys I'm looking to lift my 01 blazer I have 29s on it and wanna get a 2.5 rough country suspension lift. Do you guys think the tires will be too small? Also how difficult is it to do the lift by your self? Thank you for your opinion!

I don't have any personal experience with it since I haven't lifted mine yet, but from what I've seen on here, 29s will be too small. I would think you'd want to go with at least 31s.

30's will look fine. 31's will look better, but rub without some trimming/massaging with bfg.

it will look fine with 29s. to go bigger you really need to also add a body lift

I'll be doing a body lift and RC suspension lift soon on my 99 4 door. I can keep you posted on any difficulties.

The 29in tires fit real good on the gen2. Body lift raises your center of gravity rendering evasive maneuvers more dangerous.

body lift is very easy and if your not doing Starsky and Hutch maneuvers you`ll be fine. BL is easier than suspension lift

The ones I have now are 29s, and they look just about right with no lift. I still think I would lift it, too, but everyone has their own preferences.

Read the warning lable over your drivers sun visor and think about a curve at night on wet or icy pavement. It's all about choices.
