Default i wonna do a lift what shud i do???

hey everyone, i have an 03 4x4 blazer with the zr2 package and i might do a lift to try n fit bigger tires..i dont care wether its a body lift or suspension but im looking for somewhere from 2-4in of lift. I wonna keep my ride quality and i heard cranking the t-bar is a really bad idea so i dont wonna do that. Any ideas on a lift that will work for me?

a 2" body lift will be the cheapeast and easiest route and with a 2" lift on a zr2 youll be able to fit 33x10.50's without and problems.(if you stick with stock rims or aftermarket rims with 6" of BS)

you could go with 5.5" BS if you want and you may have to trim some with a 11.50 wide tire and with a 12.50 wide tire youll have to trim for sure and you may run into rubbing issues also a 12.50" wide tire is to wide to run on stock rims.

you can run any backspacing you want, but keep in mind that the lower the backspacing the more youll have to decrease your tire size.
