Recently came into possession of my late fathers Blazer. Blue, 1999, 2dr, 4x4, manual transmission. Only 117k on all original parts. Runs strong with no problems passing Pennsylvania inspection and emissions.

Would like put 31x10.5 (or something similar) on the stock rims after painting them black. Any idea if a 2in lift and 2 inch body lift would suffice?

Also, how to identify the trim of the vehicle? I know it's not the ZR2

Thanks all!

 

LS maybe?

 

Welcome!

With just a suspension lift, you can get 30x9.5s but 31x10.5s can have some interference issues. One is that at full stop on the steering, the tires will rub the frame (on non-ZR2 models). I had the tire shop test this for me. Also, people will roll the inner edge of the fender openings to gain a bit of clearance. A body lift will likely address the fender issue but the frame interference will remain. Adding wheels spacers (on all 4 wheels, not the same front to back) might help with the interference of the tires with the frame. I chose to go with the 30" tires instead of the 31's so to reduce some of the extra wear and tear I know my suspension lift might be causing.

Rough Country sells a 2.5" suspension lift kit you should check out as a point of reference. I did not use their lift kit but I did use their upper control arms.

Also, be sure to check out the dedicated forum section on lifts.

As for getting the skinny on your truck, look for the RPO codes listed on the sticker on the inner face of the the glove box door. It is worth getting it all decoded.

 

Cloth seats and door panels? Definitely an LS trim package.

I have never seen an LT model that is 2 door...but I suppose it's possible.
