they can test on my 2dr

 

I don't quite see why you would need a new diff, either... You still cut the upper mount, and trim similar to the 2.5 lift... You actually trim more off the fins. Download the pdf. The kit comes in 2 versions according to the video. Traditional torsion bar drop or a non torsion drop. The non torsion only fits extended cab pickups, but I call bull****. Non torsion drop should use a bracket for the torsion bar in the lower control arm, and we all know the suspension is the same from model to model, be it a 2 door blazer or a standard cab truck. Is imagine you would have to move the torsion bar crossmember back a few inches for the "ntd" kit. But how much? 2"? 6"? The only pdf they had to download was the torsion drop instructions.

 

Hey everyone, new guy here. Been reading these forums for a long time and gotten a lot of good info from them. Figured its time I join.
So i have a 2004 s-10 blazer, 4 door, 4wd. With the rough country 2.5" suspension lift and a 2" body lift. I was hoping somebody could tell me why I wouldnt be able to use the new 6" RC lift on top of my 2.5" lift. Do I jus need to replace the front diff with a stock one? Any other reasons it wont work? Solutions??

 

I think that it would be possible, but you'll run into more variables and as far as I know there hasn't been anyone try it and post their results here. We just need someone to be the guinea pig and to take lots of pictures of their process to document it. Want to volunteer?

 

i would contact rough country and ask them.

 

Id love to volunteer haha, its going to happen either way whenever I come up with the money, currently in the process of moving into an apartment so funds are tight for now. I'm just hoping to have a rough idea of what I'm going to need to do to make it work, I think if I jus get a stock front diff from the junkyard I can make it work with some fabrication work. Id just hate to get halfway through and realize that theres more problems than I thought or that it just simply wont work. I emailed RC and asked if it would work and if not why,and what could I do to make it work. they were no help at all, had a response in about 5 minutes from a guy saying "you cant run the 6" with the 2.5" when i asked why not and what would I need to do to make it work he never responded, tried again today and still no response.

 

When you pose the question it sounds like you are wanting to run the 6" lift along with the 2.5" lift so that is why you got no help from them. The 2.5" lift is a much simpler lift than the 6" but it requires you to cut off a portion of your front diff that is needed to use the 6" lift. So to answer your question simply yes you can replace your front diff and then would be able to install the 6" lift. Since everything except the diff bracket is bolt on on the 2.5" you would essentially be going back and starting from stock after replacing the diff. Also if you don't have your upper control arms still laying around you will need factory arms to work with the 6" geometry. When you are finished you are only going to have 6" of lift tho not 8.5". It's really not a huge deal and you could easily sell your 2.5" with the diff already modded to someone and recoup a few dollars as well I'm sure.

 

Yea that makes sense. I wish i could run them both and have 8.5"! Haha thatd be sick. But thanks alot man that was exactly what i was looking for.

 

No problem!

 

oh man its tempting to get this!!!!!!!
