Why not just do a solid axle swap?

 

I like the word JUST !

 

hello new to this group i just bought a 2004 blazer zr2 and put a set of tracks on it thinking the factory lift would be enough lift but it wasnt i trimmed as much body off as i would like to now its a body lift time i just need something for the back as it will see maybe 40 mph here and there but not to often mainley 20 to 30 or even less in powder snow its just to get me to the iceshack for fishing and cruising in the back country will not see highway speeds ever again looking for a way to lift the back 2 - 3 inches for clearance tracks are rubbing

 

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. Unique Strengthened Front Differential Gears and Drive Axles. Unique Rear Axle with 8.5" Ring Gear, Larger Whl Bearings and Longer, Larger Diam. Axle Shafts. Unique Rear Suspension with Revised Multi-Leaf Springs and Added Rear Axle Track Bar. Unique 28mm vs 25mm dia. Front Stabiliizer Bar, 46mm Bilstein Gas Pressurized Shock Absorbers. ZM5 Underbody Shields. Modified Jack and Spare Tire Stowage Winch. Body is 3" higher than Std (Reqs YC3 Decor. GT4 Axle, G80 Locking Differential, QJJ t res, & ZY1 Solid Paint) (N/A 1SA/1SB) (N/A Z82 Trailering)

CT10516 = 2dr/4wd
ZM5 = SHIELD PACKAGE: (4 x 4 Only) (Incls Transfer Case & Front Differential Skid Plates: FueI Tank & Steering Linkage Shield) (lncl w/ZR2 Suspension Package)
YC3 = 2dr LS trim package
GT4 = 3.73 rear axle, 7.62” ring gear
G80 = Locking differential
QJJ = Tires, 31 x 10.SR-IS B/W

Z82 = TRAILERING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: Heavy Duly (N/A ZR2 Suspension) (Incls Weight Distribution Hitch Platform) (CS105*6 Reqs GU4/GU6 Axle. M30 Trans)

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.
