i was wondering if i could take the keys and rear shackles from the ZR-2 and put them in my stock blazer. i can buy new keys and the shackles from EBAY for 200 shipped. any different ideas would be nice

 

2dr or 4?

 

ZR2 keys won't make a difference... I highly suggest staying away from the lift kits on ebay that use different keys.

If you're looking to lift your blazer, i'd go with a 2" body lift, shackles and a small (1") t-bar crank.

 

^^^ Agreed with Jigg, I would do a 2" Body lift and then a 1-1.5" tbar crank and a 1-2" shackles in the rear. The t-bar part = free (no keys needed, IIRC just a 17or 19mm socket wrench and floor jack/stands), and the 1-2" shackles ~$80 plus shipping, and a 2" Performance Accessories Body lift ~$200 plus shipping. and of course an front alignment after the t-bar crank. Should be able to fit 31" maybe 32" tires.

 

^^^^Definately can fit 31's with that with more than enough clearance.32's shouldnt be an issue either. With some trimming you can go as high as 33's if ya want.

 

what if i took the front lower control arms from a ZR-2 and used the keys from the same truck and also used the rear springs and shackles to get the lift. i have access to all of the tools and parts to do the swap. the part numbers for the rest of the suspension is the same except the lower arms and keys.

 

i also should mention that it is a 2dr

 

I know there are differences in the frame and suspension between a regular 2door and a ZR2, however a regular 4dr is the same as a regular 2dr. So I would just go with the comments made above about the way to lift the truck.

 

Jigg, RCars, if u guys think 32's will fit with a 2" BL, T-bars, and shackles, then consider my 32's as good as purchased..lol ill definitely lift, considering im moving to a house with a garage big enough to put a coal truck in... ill have a place to work

 

Yeah I am at least going to get 31" BFG AT's with a 2" body lift and tbar/shackles lift, more likely I am going to consider 32's maybe 33's. I dont really want to do any trimming though so probably 32's at the largest.
