Yeah, I think it looks badass. Here's a side by side shot next to a stock blazer.

I had a 98 2wd I did something similar to. Lifted 2" with 30s and black steel wheels. I had a safari bar with 2 hellas on the front too. I miss that truck but I wouldnt give up my 4x4 now for anything.

can you break down all your mods again for me...?

I have a few recipies for 2wd 2nd-gen lifts from S10forum and want to see if yours is similar.

I am onboard with the Moog springs and running shackles in the back. This is on an ext-cab swb '94.

There are a few choices on spindles if you go that route. I am planning on replacing all the bushings, balljoints, etc while its torn down.

Was weighing 2" BL against the spindles. Will be running 31x10.50s but not sure on what wheel offset I'll use (also determined by spindle lift or BL).

My 4wd, 4dr blazer is still the primary commuter and toy, but the truck gives us a fall-back and a farm truck we really need.

Your rig looks good.

3" spindles.
Moog 5664's.
2" shackles.
2" AAL's.
FWIW, new moog uper and lower ball joints.
New calipers and rotors from an S10 pickup.
BFG all terrian 30x9.5x15's
ProComp rims.

Will be doing a 2" BL and 32's when the 30's wear out.
