RE: lifting the 2000 4x4
out of curiosity...how tough is it to install the 2" body lift and shackles?
I just inherited a 2000 s10 blazer 4dr. I don't do any SERIOUS off roading but I do need to take some really rough roads to get back to the elk. I think I'd like to get 32" tires on it. I currently have 235/75r15s
Approximately how much total lift would all of that get me?

Hey Bowhunter, Rob (RCars2) did a couple of posts about that very thing, infact I printed one out the other day because before two long I am going to be puttin' one on myself. I could find the one Rob did there beginning to be alot of threads on this. So I had this in my favorites because I thought it had some really good pictures and the info wasn't half bad and better than most.
Here is the first link: It is part 1 of 2 and its got great pictures and it help kinda get an idea of what involved I have lifted a few trucks myself but never a body lift.

Hope this helps. Again a few of the guys on here have done how to's. I searched for a little bit but don't have time to look at them all so I though this might help. The rest of the footwork I'll leave to you.
No as far as difficulty from the way Rob sounds its not that hard. You could potentially do it in a weekend with some floorjacks and the normal basic tools for the most part. Youmight want tocheck just to make sure, I just got up so Iam still a bitfoggy.So from what I've read on here the overall lift you get depends on the tire size and a few other varyables so not real sure on that. Good luck.
OH, I almost forgot it is on aChevy Silverado although I don't think there would too many differences in the technique or way its done.

Its a very similiar process to the what the silverado shows there. Actually had i those instructions along with mine at the time of install it might have gone a little smoother.
Oh and as for the body lift and shackle discussions ive had in the past Here is my body lift one and i cant find my othere one about shackles......ah well do a search, there are a ton of posts about how to install em.
One of these days when im feeling ambitious ill start doing some write ups on items like these and taking pictures and ill send them over to kyle to get them posted in the how to area. In the mean while if ya got any questions PM me and ill help ya where i can.
