i believe that if your going to fit anything over 31 on your blazer you have to do some fender mods. At least thats what i have heard from numerous websites. body lifts might give you clearance on the wheels, but as far as ground clearance you will still just have stock, as a body lift just lifts the body off the frame. Suspension life is just that, lifts the entire suspension to the desired hight, way better for wheeling.
As far as my rig, i am going to get a bull bar with lights, nerf bars and more that likely spacers to give it that agressive look. Want to get it higher, but do not want to get a body lift as i have herd they are bad to put on suspension lifts, plus if you tow anything a body lift will just rip your bumper off.

yeah, i know the difference. i am saying that if i need the body lift for more articulation then i will get it. as for now, i am going to buy lift shackles(1.5) and crank the t-bars up(1.5). yeah, i am going to have to do some triming to clear, but its only going to be a small amount. you cn still tow if you have a body lift, as long as you have a tow hitch, you will be fine.

How does the flowmasters sounds for ya?? I am personally thinking of giving the truck to my buddy and have him do a dual straight exhaust with delta flow 40s on them. Or one 40 and split up to two pipes considering the other way would be 3 cyls per muffler.
