Hey guys, long time chevy lover here, jusT bought a 2000 blazer ls 4dr. 4x4 and cant wait to lift it. Im just intimidated by all the things to know about it, (cutting brackets, trimming, driveshaft vibes, ) I'd like to put a set of 33" super swampers on it, and have no clue what lift to get. It will be my daily driver, & for the most part off roading at my local beach. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys

I run 33s on mine. I have roughly 9in of lift but I do a lot of offroading which it doesnt sound like you will be doing anything to extreme. You should be able to do it with a 6in lift from superlift. It will cost you around 2k though. Otherwise a bodylift (250) with tbar crank and shackles (60). With that you will have to do some trimming though.

 

great direction man thanks ! nice looking rig ya got. yea nothing too extreme here, maybe some mud at best no crawling or anything. ill definitely look into superlift, i was planning on around 2k it want to do it right ya know. what about a cheaper 4" lift with a 2" body lift does that equal to the 6" lift ?

 

no body make a 4in for our trucks

 

I believe the is a 5" lift by TrailMaster but its almost 2k aswell so I think your better off going with a 6" and put a body lift too, if you want?

 

Don't forget to regear your truck as well if you plan on running 33's.

 

see there it is ! knew i was gonna miss something, good thing i started asking questions. does that mean new gears in the rear + front ends or a new tranny ? also what gears should i get ?

 

You need new front and rear diff gears. If you plan on going with 33's, I would get 4.10's or 4.11's... No modifications to the trans needed.

 

figured out that was a question for a diff thread, can you tell im a forum noob too haha

 

gearing isnt a must but I would recommend it. I still have my stock 3.42s with 33s and it isnt too bad but i really want to change to 4.10s
