Yep that's the right one for you. It says 2 or 3 inches so they can use the same description for all Preformance Accesories kits. 1st gen blazers can do 3' BL, but 95+ are only 2'.

That cost seems a bit low though...I wouldn't be surprised if it does not actually include bumper brackets (despite what the generic description says).

I'd say spend a few more and get the one from Synergy Offroad here.

BL arent too bad, you dont have to be that mechanically inclined, but it is very time consuming. Spend the extra $$$ and go with the performance accessories BL, it is a great kit, but you might want to get more detailed instructions online.

More detailed instructions from us

And yes they're definitely not the most advanced mechanical endeavor you could take on...but it's definitely not a couple hours- minimal sweat job. You pretty much remove both bumpers, loosen a bunch of ground straps, a few cable clips, take of the fan shroud, then put in the spacers, and reassemble. The catch is that both bumpers have to be trimmed quite a bit to fit back on (at least they do on the 98+, not so sure about the 95-97s).

Edit: (fast poster...) My lift install took me 2 full days with a helper. The biggest pains were the bumpers. Also, if you've got any rust on your body mounts...that complicates things. It can be done by yourself, but it will just take longer. Do you have air tools?

Yeah you have to do trimming on the rear bumpers for the 95-97's aswell. Ohh and dont forget the PB blast.

None of that shenanigans in NC

Although those bolts are torqued on rather tight. Definitely PB Blast
