Exclamation where can i find it?

I'm new to the forum and i joined to get some help. i've had my blazer for a while. It's a 1999 S10 Blazer 4WD 4 Dr 4.3L V6. I've been searching for about a month now for lift kits for my truck, unfortunatly can't find anything at all. Nothing i see comes for the year of my truck. Anyone who knows anything or can give some advice please let me know. I'm looking for at least a 3in. lift. either body or suspension. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

the dont make a 3" kit for 2nd gen blazers. if your goal is to reach 3" of lift you can buy a 3" body lift thats made for a 1st gen but youll have to fab up your own bumper brackets or you can buy a 2" body lift thats made for a 2nd gen then crank your tbars 1.5" and add either shackles or an add a leaf to the rear. theres also a 2" suspension kit availible but i do not recomend it but if you would like some info on it just let me know. some websites to check out: BDS, Superlift, or ebay will carry everything you need.

31's would fit with a 2" lift, you may need to do some minor trimming though depending on how hard you're going to use the truck off road. You might also want to crank the tbars for an additional FREE 1.5" of lift.

how long would all this take to do?

and would my stock rims fit 31" tires? p235/75R15 is what i have now.

also will i have to extend any fuel lines or anything of that nature?

the body lift will take about a day to install with the help of a few friends and the kit will include everything needed to extend the necesary items, 31x10.50 will fit just fine on your stock rims.

It would take you and a body a few hours to put the body lift on (assuming you have the tools necssary and follow the instructions)

Yes stock rims will fit 31's.

No you will not have to extend fuel lines I dont think.

Edit: Damnit mike you beat me to it! lol

Sorry to jump in here but on a 97 blazer could u still do a body lift, or would it be harder because of the floor shifter?
