Default Zr2 or not?

Just looking for info on if my blazer is a zr2 or not. The engine code on the vin says it has the motor with more HP and the suspension specs match up. But it doesnt have the zr2 iff road decal or the fender flares like iv seen. So what makes a ZR2?

Ya im not seeing any of those. Do all 2000 blazers have torsion bars in the front?

All the 4wd ones do. Well, unless someone has removed them...

ZR2's came with slightly larger diameter bars too...

Well, ANYTHING is possible... It would not be just a simple "bolt on" swap

I also heard theres a different gear ratio in the front and rear diffs . wider wheel base. And then the more HP but i have the more HP motor lol.

Yes, the ZR2 RPO option is known as the "higher and wider" suspension package...

I'm not familiar enough with the option to know what else typically came with them...

zr2 higher and wider is done by different mounting points of the control arms. so you would have to be really good to make it one
