i dont think they ever made a 3" body lift for the 2nd gen blazers. i believe it was only the K5's and such that they made the 3" BL's for....just my

1st gen s-series blazers had a 3" kit many have used it with success on 2nd gens also (got mine at summit racing for $60 included everything but bumper relocation brackets) BUT bear in mind I have a 1st gen maybe someone else that has used 1st gen 3" kit on a 2nd gen will chime in with more detail

The guys with 2nd gens run 3 inch first gen lifts. You have to do something about moving the bumpers up but the blocks are the same.

Yep. Just double check your lines and such. Either build your own bumper brackets or however you want to do it. Don't forget the body mount bolts in the back that are kinda hidden and good luck.

The only way to do a 3" bl on a second gen blazer is to buy a 1st gen 3" body lift and mix it with a second gen 2" body lift. There are no 2nd gen 3" body lift kits. Don't worry about the bumpers...all you have to do is make sure they get lifted 3" like the rest of the body, which could be accomplished with a block and long bolt.

that 3" bl kit you bought....is it from trailmaster? If so, you can just use the extra blocks that come with the kit.

Well they make a 3inch body lift for the 94 s10 which is the first year they made the 2nd gen style s10's like are blazers but they didnt start the 2nd gen blazer until 95. They only made the kit for that year (1994 s10) thats the one you want. Its from performance Accessories.

part # is 103 i believe
I know this is what the ZR2 guys over on ZR2usa use. I believe its front bumper brackets are ok but there arent any back.What most people do is flip over the stock brackets and switch them so left is on right and vice versa. (u may have to drill one whole in them to make it work).
I haven't actually done this just done a lot of research cuz its my next step, will hopefully be done this summer. So not all this info may be right but i think it will help give you an idea of whats going on. Oh and if u use a s10 kit i believe you will just have a few extra blocks but im not sure if u have a 4dr or 2dr that may change it too. Also im not one hundred percent that this kit will be what u want for a none zr2 also u may have to do some checking on that.
