How To: Rough Country 2.5" Lift Install
#55
cost effective yes, I just don't like the look of so much frame hanging down. also I already have to buy shocks so I assumed this may be the better route. I attempted to low ball the ebay listing for this lift and got the response I thought I would...nope!

Lewhite, what's odd is your constant need to comment in every thread about lifting a truck on here. How about keeping your useless comments to yourself?
not just cost. If you offroad at all, then a body lift is more effective at clearing the larger tires. Torsion cranks and RC lift don't give you much extra clearance when the suspension fully cycles. Chances are you'd still rub with the RC lift and 31's. Unless it's just for street use.

So, to answer the question and stay on topic.
I had the 2.5 RC lift on my blazer as well as a 2" body lift. To fit 31's the body lift was the better option in my opinion. If the lift is just for the looks and you don't plan to use the truck in situations where you will have extreme articulation then the RC lift will probably be ok. My RC shocks were not as good as the stock bilstein shocks. I had cv bind and the CV boots leaked grease. I did push my blazer harder than most while playing on the rocks though.
Good luck and have a look at my build thread to see pics of 31's on a 2 inch body lift. I still have my body lift and I'm on 35s now.
