Welcome to the site!

Spend some time browsing around the forums, this has all been covered before. Read this page first: Lift Kit List

I'm guessing you left off the d in your vehicle info, and you meant to type 01 blazer 2wd...and if that's the case, you might be able to go up 4' with the suspension. The 4x4 trucks max at 2' unless you spring for the VERY expensive 5' kits..but I think on a 2wd you can go higher since you dont have the whole front differential thing.

You'd probably have to flip the rear springs, then get lift spindles and lift springs up front for the full 4'. Although I would question why you want to run 33s on a 2wd truck

I would question lifting a 2wd truck. My motto is 2wd lower 4wd lift.

The problem with lifting a 2wd truck and putting the big A/T tires on is that after a while, you start to think that your truck really is offroad capable...then...you get stuck [&o]

pics of this supercharged blazer??
why do you want to lift a 2wd??
The easiest way to make it 4wd is to get a frame from a 4wd and put your body on it.

But with the prices of SUVs in our gas-oriented days....just buy a 4wd.

Unless of course you really are supercharged..then you would want to drop body. And I'm no supercharger expert...but why spend the $4000 on a blower when you could have run 8lbs boost from a turbo for 1/4 of the cost if not less?
