Default 2" lift in a s10 blazer

Hi, I´m from chile and i want to know if someone has experienced this lifts or if someone has purchased a rough country 2" inch lift or a superlift 2" lifts. I´ve read in s10forum.com that the rough country kit has many problems, that rubs with callipers and that the ball joints has to be changed every 6 months, and have bad experiences with this kit, but the superlift works wery well, and have no comments against it.
the reason is that i want to buy one of these kits and bring it to chile to put it in my blazer to fit 31´s. I don´t go off road very much, just sand. i found this page to buy this kit

S-Series Replacement Control Arms for 2" Superlift - Synergy Offroad

i want to buy one of those kits cause the trail master or the superlift of 5" and 6" each cost me a fortune, close to the double of the price to bring it to chile, maybe i bought it in a far future or make a SAS, but now i want one of those kits. Thanks for the time

actually you dont need the kit to fit 31's
just crank the torsion bars up 1.5" and then add 2" shackles in the rear and you will be fine...plus save some cash.

i did that and had 31's on for along time no issues at all.
i never did experience premature wear on parts either....only thing that did happen was the cv joint boots slipped off...but that was an easy fix with a large adjustable clamp and some bearing grease.

hope that helps you out.

Thanks for the info, i´ve read a lot abut cranking the t-bars, i used to have a 88 s10 blazer and did that, crank the t-bars and put a lift shackle at the back, but the 31´s rub, then i put a 3 inch PA body lift in it, and then i SAS that truck, then i sell it, the final question in this is know about those two kits, i think that they work mostly the same, but finally i want to know the experience of people that bought and had used this kits, cause my experience with the 88 blazer with the t-bars cranked wasn´t very good. now i have a 1998 s10 blazer, 2 door, and want to lift it but with this kind of kits. thanks for the answers and congrats for your blazer.
