I am also looking into some nerf bars to try and mask some of the frame that sticks down alot stock not to mention with a bodylift.

Taymacjack- I think they just hope you don't know and try to get money off you. Umm. when I did my kit there was welding involved for the front shock relocaton brakets. But now as a_tack said "Rough country just redesigned that 2" lift with re-angled upper control arms.Kit now comes with new ball joints and no need for a shock relocation bracket. The kit is now completely bolt on... no welding, drilling, etc...". I think you may run into a problem with makeing the fuel servicing line work with 3" blocks. But you can just go and get your own sized hose somewhere.

thegr81- Yeah I'm down for pics whenever. Just pm me sometime to figure it all out

94blueknight- Nerf bars would definantly help that but I'm not sure I'm to into them. Plus I'm 6'2" and don't really need them.
How about the shift linkage? did you run into any problems there? I got a Performance Accessories Bl and they say you wont need to do any welding. But some say they had to do some welding when it came to the shift linkage. Im not sure if they were doing the lifts to blazers or not, but i just wondering what you had to do.

Negative, definantly no welding involved for the Body lift. I have no problem with shift linkage at all. Not sure if it would causea problem with you if you went 3" though.

Umm kind of. They are 32x11.5 and I still had to trim a bunch for them. Pretty much my backspacing is what is holding me back. I think I have either a 4" or 4.5" backspacing.

That is on the 1994 and ealier (first gen) s-10/blazer... I believe the 1995+ (2nd gen) is a cable, not an actual linkage so to speak.. so there is no modification required
