Default Adding 2" BL to a 2" RC Suspension Lift

Just got done installing the 2" Rough Country Suspension Lift Kit on my Blazer. Overall, I am pretty impressed with the lift. However, I am thinking about adding a 2" body lift to it. So I was just wondering whether or not I will experience any major problems adding this and if anybody else has done that????

Lots of people have done it, there is no major issues adding the Body Lift to your truck.

The center console has to be moved back a bit or cut...one of the two. The shifter does weird things to the console.

And yea Ive got a 2' suspension with a 2' body. Not the RC lift, but who needs fancy control arms anyway

Hello all, we are about to do add a leaf to our rear and torque up the front - after that I am thinking of installing a body kit as well.

We are throwing 31 x 10.5 tires on the truck after the suspension lift, and see if we have to trim anything incase of rubbing, but I think the body lift after that should fix that.

But to stay on topic, with the body lift, are we going to have to extend any lines such as the brake, fuel, etc. in the process?
She is a 4x4 4 door automatic.

Thanks
-Jon

Only a couple ground straps need to be extended (parts supplied with the kit), and the oil filter has to be dropped down to avoid having to extend oil lines (again, parts in kit). All the other lines have enough play or do not move. A few of the lines you do have to remove the stock bolt holding them down to free up some slack, but thats all covered in the install instructions
