yeah i did. everythings tight. I just lowered the tbars back to where they were and walla much tighter. Quick question then, if i crank the tbars will my steering just be that much looser/sloppy? or will that be taken care of with an alignment?(go to different shop than the one before obviously)

hmmm... minor trimming? Click the link in my signature... Remember ZR2's are 2" taller than a stock Blazer and IIRC 3 inch BL's aren't available for 2nd gens. so with 1.5" + 2"... that's 5.5" taller than a stock Blazer. You may need more than "minor" trimming lol because NJ4x4Blazer rubbed 32's with a 6" lift before putting his 2" body lift on... now he can clear 33's if he's not wheeling hard.
I can see that, but apparently you can get a 3in BL for the 2nd gens. Also, there's much more room in the ZR2 fenders than a stock Blazer, right?

'02 shackles will fit on an '03. You can fit a 3" body lift on a 2nd Gen by using a 2nd Gen kit and swapping out the 2" blocks for 3" blocks. ZR2's actually sit 3" taller stock than non-ZR2's. You can run 33X10.5 or even 33X12.5 on a ZR2 with just a body lift, shackles and tbar crank.
I have 33X10.5's and have trimmed quite a bit. 95% of the time offroad I don't not rub. Only when I fully flex do I rub on the rear of all four flare. Not all four at the same time, of course, but one at a time. I could trim more or go down to 32's or just not get in situations where I flex to the max.

I rub just very minor up front and rear with either my sway bar disco'd or not. I've have a 2" body lift, 2" shackles and tbars cranked 5 turns or about 1.25". I could sand/grind down the flares easily, and may do that eventually, but I very seldom fully max out the flex when offroad.
That being said, I'll probably do it before long.
