Ideally you should introduce yourself in the New Members forum. Tell us about you and your rig. Then to get the help and advice you want, you should start a new thread. And if you can post pictures, that's even better! Welcome to the group!

[QUOTE=christine_208;683646]As for if you truck is a ZR2 or not, shouldn't you be able to tell from the list of RPO codes on the label on the inside face of the glove compartment door?

From a copy of the 1999 Blazer sales literature, below is the description of the ZR2 option. Perhaps it will give a clue as to the fitment issues with the different lift kits.

Also, are you doing only a suspension lift and/or a body lift?

ZR2: WIDE STANCE, SPORT PERFORMANCE: (CT10516 Only) (Incls Unique Revised Frame for Wide Tread. Front Tread 61.2" is 3.9" Wider than Standard. Rear Tread 59.1" is 3.9" Wider Than Standard.

GT4 Axle, G80 Locking Differential, QJJ t res, & ZY1 Solid Paint) (N/A 1SA/1SB) (N/A Z82 Trailering)

CT10516 = 2dr/4wd

Does this mean mines a ZR2? It doesnt have the stamped wells but does have the ZR2 code on the firewall as well?

Yes, with that RPO, you have a ZR2.

It seems that Superlift and BDS have both discontinued their lifts. Does anyone know of another option besides Rough Country? Getting ready to start restoring my 01 and I'd really like to put a lift on it.
