if you're gonna pay for it, might as well get one that will fit...

since you dont have a front bumper, you wont have to worry about the brackets not working... and you can probably get you rear bumper up there or at least close

the 04 kit is PA 152... BTW

The only kits made for 2nd gens are 2" and cost almost twice as much as the first gen kits. If you want 3", you'll have to make do with the first gen kits. there are plenty of people using them in 2nd gens though. You'll have to figure out some way to lift the bumpers.

awesome tattoo btw :P

Hmm, well i might just do the 2 then but i have a couple weeks until im buying it so ill do some research in the meantime.

Im guessing thats the only difference between the 2 and 3 is bumper mounts?

About the tattoo, home sweet home. hehe

Thanks!

When I got my blazer 2 yrs. ago last Sept. it had the 3" BL on it. No bumper brackets & as I've heard thats a good thing if you're going to tow. Seems GM incorporated the class III hitch & rear bumper brackets so they work together at the rear. If you raise the bumper you can't tow.
Which is fine, I have some aluminum checkerplate at work I'll be mounting tabs on, powdercoating & installing soon.

nice! thanks for the info.

Yeah not worried about towing atm but i do want my bumpers to ride with the body so ill either do the 2 inch or do the 3 and fab something for the bumpers.

Hopefully this fits my 04, as i do not see a 04 option anywhere on their list.
grab THIS kit from Summit, it's cheaper. and it looks like everything you'll need comes in tyhe kit. of course i did'nt see any bumper brackets in the box, but they'd be fairly easy to fab up.

Here's Mine with a 3 inch body lift from Summit racing. I bought the kit for just over 100 bucks, made bumper relocation brackets for the front and back bumpers.
