lay frame or just bag it on 22's or 24's
murder it all out (well just get black rims) and tint watever u can tint it should look pretty nice..
make it a cruiser and if u want to show it off do a simple interior upholstery. a suede full wrap would look very nice

the key thing to do is do what you like, just dont be like some of the dumb f***s that bag em and put 24's or 30's on them

i would suggest like people say, drop it about 2 inches, maybe 18's just not the big overdone rims that are worth more than the vehicle, performance wise, 350 swap

I like the way the Xtremes look, thats a good height for a 2WD blazer.

I guy that used to work for my Dad had a 2WD Dodge Ram jacked like 8" with mud tires, flares and all. To each his own I guess, haha.

Lol, I was told not to raise mine up because it WASNT 4WD. On the 350 Swap Idea, theres no way that the 4.3L V6 can put out any power than what it already does? I know its not much, but can it with-hold some punishment with a turbo? As for looks, im not using it to be super lowered with super big rims as im not a fan of that kind of look. just something casual when someone looks at it and says "man, thats a clean lookin ride" I just dont want to over-do it. The xtreme's look awesome, where would i buy a bodykit for it?

Xtremes were never 4 door, you'd have to buy a 2 door kit and work it to make it work on yours.

Yes, you can build a 4.3 a bit to handle a turbo if you know what you're doing, but a V8 will create more power and torque in the long run.

The V8 swap into your 2nd gen 2wd blazer is probably the most straight-forward S10 you can get a V8 into. Much easier than fabricating a turbo setup. You can use the same wiring harness, computer (need a new tune), transmission, front engine accessories. I believe there's an issue with the a/c compressor clearing the hood if you wanted to retain a/c. Here's a link you should check out.
