Does any one know if there is a differance in the rear leaf spring on a ZR2 and a non- ZR2 blazer because my roommates 99 ZR2 got totalled in a car wrech but the back half is ok so i was thinking of changing out rear spring leaf spring if it will give me some lift

I don't believe you'll get any lift from the ZR2 leafsprings if that's what you're looking for. The spring perches on the ZR2 frames were lower(extended down further off the frame) giving them the additional lift.

You have a few options to get lift in the rear. You can install an Add-a-leaf in the rear gaining from 1 to 2 inches lift or you can install some lift shackles and gain from 1 to 3 inches.

If you google S10 Shackles you will come up with several vendors offering various lift shackles for your ride.

Hope this answers your question adequately.
