Default Body Lift for 1999 Blazer ZR2 questions

i'm looking into putting a 2" PA Body lift on my 1999 Blazer ZR2. I was just wondering what modifications i would have to do? brake line extension, fuel tank neck extension, fan shroud adjustment, air intake adjustment?

Also, what all does the PA152 Chevy Blazer/ GMC Jimmy 2 " Body Lift(including ZR2) from Synergy.com come with? i wanna make sure it has everything i'm going to need before i order it. bumper brackets, etc.

thank you for any replies

if you look for the pdf file for the instructions on the site it is very helpful.
as far as modifications, nothing major.
fan shroud yes....comes with hardware for that
fuel tank ext, i skipped that one.
air intake...n/a i have a cold air in.
brakelines...no, just have to undo a couple of clips from frame and carefully flex them.
i then zip tied them down.

only real pain was the body mount bolts...soak them with pb blaster or (=) for a couple days before you start. and be careful not to snap them...that leads to lots of "fun"

other than that not to bad really...i did mine by myself, took me good share of a full day to do it.

just read the inst. a couple times and take your time, you should be fine.

best part of the lift....frees up lots of tight spaces, makes some work on the vehicle much easier.

yeah theres nothing major that needs to be done. I print out the BDS instructions. They are a lot better than the PA ones

i might have to do that. i found the PA instructions and they seem pretty self explanatory but i'll try finding BDS' too.

Thanks for the Info
