Default Calling All Lifted Trucks!

Post pics of your lifted truck and specs. This goes out to all those that are body lifted, suspension lift and lifted with shackles. This is a good thread so people who are thinking about lifting their trucks can see what it's going to look like.

My truck: 2001 Blazer LS
Suspension: 6" Superlift Kit with upgraded Bilstein Shocks, 2" PA Body Lift
Front & Rear Gears: Yukon 4.11's
Wheels: 20"x9" rims with 33" Mud Terrain Tires and 15"x8" (4.5" back space) pro comp series 97 wheels with 32" Pro Comp All Terrain Tires
Spacer: For rear wheels only, I have 1.25" billet adapters to even out the front and rear wheels.
Hypertech Power Programmer III: Have this to reprogram the computer and speedometer for the larger tires and gears.
Power Performance Upper & Lower Balljoints
Energy Suspension Body Mounts

Good idea! Since the photo gallery isn't working, this should help people get an idea of what different lifts will look like.

What if everyone thinks you have a lift but, you don't - I've been toying with the fact that my '95 doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. The guy that originally bought it, special ordered it, with a few options that I've not heard of. They didn't make a ZR2 that year - but this thing does sit up higher than most. Hmm.

We could do this for wheels too - and make it a sticky for the top of the section!

This is what a blazer looks like with 31" Aggressive A/T and ONLY a 2" B.L.

I just found out that my rig rolls on the Z85 package and also it has listed in the glove box ZM6 as well - Frankin`Blazer.

*It's very interesting looking at Will`s ride and mine on the same page...

Nope, that's why the fender clearence is the same looking then... I parked in front of another Blazer this past week and there was a pretty big difference between mine and that one - and eveyone asks me if I have a lift... It's almost annoying!

And for those who don't realize how big a 31" tire really is, this is what they look like next to a stock blazer (height and tire.)

Guess I'll play, nothing extreme:

2000 ZR2
2 inch BDS body lift
2 inch shackles
about 1 inch tbar crank
33X10.5X15 BFG ATs on stock rims
Stock gearing (3.73)
1.25 inch rear spacers

The side pic shows the low end sitting a bit low as the back is fully loaded plus a car trailer with about another 1000 lbs on it. The rear sits maybe a half inch or so higher than the front.
