Default Help me decide

I am having a hard time deciding on the direction to go wit my lift project.

I have:
1999 Blazer ZR2 with Stockrims

I cannot decide whether I want to go with 2" shackles and a Tbar crank to run 32x11.5x15
Or a 2" body lift (and maybe tbar & shackle) and run 33x12.5x15

MPG is a concern. How much does your milage suffer with the new meats.
Towing is a concern. I have a small 15' boat I tow with the bumper hitch only. it isn't very heavy though. Towing anything else isn't of concern.

3rd option i suppose is 2" BL with 32s no tbar / shackles.


any pictures of your rig with these options would be helpful.

I am also in a rut man, can't figure out what to do! One mechanic will tell me one thing, another will tell me something completely different. Its very hard to make a choice based on this. The mechanic that just did work on my 99 Jimmy SLT 4 DR said that a that crank is fine with an alignment, and that he has done alot of lifting with this method, and not alot of fixing. Ill keep you posted on the reliability of this mechanic though when I get my two upper ball joints replaced by him this weekend (ughhhhh!) Lol- well see if this Guy really knows his stuff!
