Default Midlife crisis ZR2

I'm new to the forum, but I've owned my Zr2 Blazer for about 10 years now. It's my second Zr2, but the ones that's stuck around the longest. I used to fear the idea of making a stupid idea when the midlife crisis hits... like, buying an expensive Corvette, or a Harley... but I've decided that lifting my Zr2 and shoving 33s under it would be a great option... I'll be lurking for info and lend a word or two when I see projects I've done before. Hello all.

A lot of people do the SAS swap. About the same costs I believe...

My biggest apprehension with the SAS, is getting the parts welded to the chassis... I cant trust anyone to do it right.

There is a bolt on kit available, not sure if it fits the ZR2, though. Still gotta weld on the shock hoops, though

So happy there's still a forum and following for the s10... I've had 6 s10 Blazers since I was 16.. I'll be updating the forum with any upgrades on my ZR2.
