Has anyone heard of a 8" suspension kit from fabtech for ZR2 blazers? I talked to a guy at a offroad shop who said they make them. Andif so how much do they cost?

 

Erroneous. The only thing Fabtech makes for s-series is 2' lift shackles. They don't even have 8' kits for anything chevy until the 01+ 2500s..

Why do you want that much lift? What kind of tires do you want to run?

 

I used to drive a k5 blazer on 44" boggers so i like going big. Im trying to decide whether i want to get a 6" suspension and 2" bl with 35's or to go big with a straight axle swap and 40" tires. what do you think?

 

Well if you want big go SFA... you are limited with the IFS.

 

You'll be hard pressed to clear 35s even with that lift. With a SFA you're much better off running the bigger tires, but you better swap out and upgrade the rear axle as well. Stock anything will not take a 40' tire.

 

Are you sure he said FABTECH and not FABRITECH? As far as I know, they made the kits for lift shops and didn't sell them to the general public. I don't even know if they're made anymore.

That would be a sweet kit though. Gotta cost a WHOLE lot to be bolt on 4 link with all those goodies. The axle would be the cheapest part

 

ya that straight axle conversion kit looks pretty cool. its probably more practical to run 35's but i know im going to want more. I tred to put a pic of my k5 on here but dont know how so check it out on youtube.
