tighten your torsion bars and place some shackles on the back might give ya like 2 in lift, dont know much about garage wage to install but it shouldnt b that hard to do it ur self with a friend or two.u can buy a good one for around 200 bucks. lol or make ur own of hockey pucks.

A body lift is definately worth it for a true 2" lift. They are not all that hard to install, just read through the instructions a few times before attemting to do one. I have a Performance Accessories 2" body lift. It came complete with everything needed so there was no need to try and round up last minute parts.

He has a 4door so it's not a ZR2...and you can't get a 3" body lift made for a 2nd generation blazer but some have used the 3" first generation blazer body lift with minimal extra work. Believe its mostly the bumper brackets(easy) and the fuel filler(very easy). Taymackjack has a 3" body lift on his 2nd generation he hasn't been around in a couple weeks though but search his name.

I'd say safety is probably the primary reason (when you start getting alot of body lift and you go off roading, the body can shift under pressure), but that is only a guess as to why they dont make them.

Yeah you'll be good. I believe it's you need 2" to fit 31's on a Non ZR2 Blazer.. What year is your truck?
