Which Suspension lift is best
 
I've had my 2001 Blazer for 3 years now and I've finally rolled into some cash and I'ma jack it up but I need guidance on which 5" lift kit is better bang for the buck.... trying to fit some 33s on it

1995-2005 Chevy / GMC S-10 Series 4WD S-10 Blazer/S-15 Jimmy5" lift kit 165H | BDS Suspension

or

Ima also have another Thread on my tire/wheel combo if anyone interested

BDS and Superlift

Have a lifetime warranty. Pick one of those. 33s will still probably rub.

bds says a 31", superlift says 33x10 on 8" wheel with 5.5" -6" backspace

i have a bds 5" lift and 2" body lift and i still had some minor rub issues with 33's
the bds kit went on well.
there are several things you need to get in addition to the main kit though.

the rear stabilizer links will need to be extened, by their new ones or leave them off.
you will/may need to get your rear driveshaft rebalanced
and you will/may need 6 degree shims for the rear axle...suspension connection has them.

that was all the additional things i had to do. not terrible really...just needed to add them after the fact which was a pain.
also see if you can get a local shop to order the lift...i did and mine was cheaper using their price vs online price.
