in response to your question earlier the brake lines, gas lines, and such you dont have to worry to much. all you have to remember is to make sure you dont crimp or pinch any of these lines when installing the body lift. another thing too is do one side at a time, jack one side up place the pucks in tighten loosely and repeat other side. you might want to use a 2x4 with your jack. and also if youre into looks when you do a body lift, youre going to see all the lines gas, brake, etc. after i did mine a was kinda dissapointed that all the lines were in plain sight. the front and rear bumper brackets are another story. by the way what are you trying to achieve with this lift? looks or function?

A little of both. More looks for now, then function. as I am still in highschool. But living in Maine, no one here "races" or gets into things like that. We all get together on weekends and go 4x4'ing. Alot of my friends have jeep cherrokee's and another, has a yoda'. Call us rednecks hahah. Id be the first with a blazer. So none of them know whats what with the blazer.

well from experience trust me EXPERIENCE ive been through this. i have a 4x2 so im strickly for looks. you wanna run 15x10s right? well thats what im runnin and its givin me too much headaches. first you cant run that wide or big of a tire on these. i tried to run tsl sx 30x11.50 and that didnt fit at all, i mean it could but with major trimming and not just plastic trimming. so as of right now im waiting for my set of 29x10.50 to come in and if they dont fit im really screwed!!!! so dont try anything until i repost with pictures and how it went. i should be gettin them in soon im in hawaii you guys are so lucky my stuff come by boat wish i lived in the states.

How don't they fit? elaborate for me. I was running 10R15's on my blazer bone stock 4x4. it did rub but I was able to drive it around pretty easily. Did rub some not gonna lie there but the only time was if ya had to turn really tight. I have pics posted in here.







Man I sure do miss my blazer. I will have another one! 2 dr. Hopefully. gotta pay my other toys first then I will have myself another toy for strictly off-roading.

They did rub. Those are the sx/tsl super swampers. they did rub. But it was only under extremely tight turning radius. Made parking in parking lots a little bit of a pain. but I was capable of doing it.
