92 blazer with lifts is it to high?
 

i have a 92 chevy blazer s10 4x4, i was wondering if putting a 1.5" suspension and a 3" body lift is to high? i am also putting 31's on it

Not at all. What would be your concern?

flipping, rolling anything? lol no problem then?

yeah i was curious about that too. I was looking into less backspaced wheels to get me that wider sturdier base.

Nope, shouldn't be much more dangerous than stock.

NJ4x4blaze is runnin 6" susp. + 2" body on here. You'll be fine.

when you cat go through the taco bell drive thru, thats when its too high lol

kyle...............you do know that 31's will fit on a 1st gen with stock suspension so problem, right?

although, i do understand your desire for the BL (even though i can't stand them), you'll need to mod those bumper brackets quite a bit with the 3" BL. throw a steel roll pan on the rear, it'll help with the gap quite a bit. just notch it to go over the frame rails.

or get rid of the rear bumper altogether.

Check local laws first I did this at first when i put my 3" BL on and within a week got stopped and ticketed for driving an unsafe vehicle (rear bumper or roll pan is required by law here) was a very not fun $200 education. Tried to argue it in court since some new trucks are sold with no rear bumper judge didn't buy it "If it came with it the bumper is required, if it didn't show me the paperwork to prove it"

so you removed the bumper altogether, and didn't bother to install a roll pan?

was the judge telling you to get rid of the roll pan, because Blazer's weren't built with a roll pan (like some S10's)?

in the end, it sure sounds like an anal cop who couldn't get you for anything else.

I did put a roll pan on it but since it didn't come that way factory i got a $200 fine + court costs. One of those stupid laws that makes no sense imo but what can you do? just hate to see someone else in the same position hence the advice to check first better safe than sorry.

Yeah some states are rediculas about the whole" from the factory" laws. I was talking to a guy that had a wrangler. Put the 16 inch, 265-70 tires and flares from a rubicon on it. And even though these are factory for the rubicon, since he had a wrangler he was required to get a modified inspection.

Although I have thought about a rollpan. I've seen one other lifted first gen around here and I can never get his attention to talk to him! But he has a rollpan notched to fit over the frame ends. But I can never find a rollpan for the first gen that looks good. Then agian, I could probley just bolt/weld it to fit...

But as for the lift, don't worry about it. As long as you retain your sway bars, it won't even "feel" top heavy really. Only thing is that on the 1st gens espically with a lift and bigger tires, strong winds and following behind 18 wheelers and such will kinda push your truck around. I've got about 4.5 inch of lift and 32's and I have to strong arm the steering wheel sometimes. But it's not too bad. Plus having the awesome truck in the parking lot makes up for it. :icon_drool:
