Default Pucks

Could I use hockey pucks as a cheap way to get enough lift to run my 31's until I can afford a real lift? I heard you can do it with the older Blazers so I was wondering if it was possible with the newer ones.

I recall someone having done it on a 2nd Gen. So I'd say yes.

Run a search & see if you can find it. I know it was on here before the changes & hopefully it still is.

It's been done... but how much will 30 pucks, 10 bolts, hardware to lower the shroud, 12 more pucks to raise the front bumper + 4 bolts, brackets to raise the rear bumper and whatever else I am forgetting gonna cost?

Yep, it sure has been done before, but it is just easier and cheaper in the long run to go with a purpose built body lift with the appropriate brackets & hardware.
