It is a 4wd. I was going to put a body lift but then was informed that they dont make anything bigger than a 2" for my year of blazer, now i plan to either out on a 2" suspension lift so i can run 31's or to just get bigger tires an run stock suspension. But im only 16 an money is tight really tight hopefully by the end of summer ill have it all completed, ready for another Minnesota winter

Whoa did you just say minnesota, were at in minnesota are you at???? I am originally from minnesota, I was born in stillwater and partially grew up in bayport!! I now live in phx, AZ which I like but I miss minnesota alot!! But as far as a body lift you can make a taller body lift just have to get the right metal for the mounts!!!

I live in Oronoco about 6 miles from rochester. Well im not the best mechanic takin some auto mechanics classes now, but i feel like putting on a suspensionlift would be alot easier that putting on a body lift. Kinda wanna do this myself to teach myself ( if that made sense) an i have access to a a wheel machine so i can buy tires an put them on the rims myself. yeah winters been bad this year, were just hopin spring will come soon

A suspension lift will teach you alot about turnin a wrench, and it would be a do it yourself as far as putting on the kit!! I know the winter has been a bear my dad lives up there still in north st.paul and said its been a crappy winter!! But how big of a suspension lift you thinking of puttin on just a 2inch shackle in the rear and torsion crank front???

Yea thats not bad, it should include new torsion keys and shackles and possibly an add a leaf !! Whatever you do just look at what your working on its not hard to do anything on a vehicle. If you look at the part and were its supposed to go it is simple!! If you get frustrated and confused just let us know and we can assist you with what you need help with!! Also taking pics and having them posted along with your vehicle information is a plus on the forum!! Just a few pointers for you!!

You can find way cheaper than that. my 6 inch lift was going to cost cheaper than that. Crank the front with t-bars and get some shackles for around 80 bucks and you will be grand.
