It will not cause any problems if installed correctly. A 2" body lift is definitely the way to go... after that you can also slightly crank up the torsion bars to lift the front and level it out.

Then you will really be happy with the true 2" of lift from a body lift. You can also gain more lift with taller tires as well.

31"s are as tall as you can get away with without rubbing at full lock while hitting a bump. I ran around on a set of borrowed 33"s for a few days and they banged the hell out of the rear of the front wheel wells.
In my opinion, a S-Blazer is easier than a body lift on a fullsixe pick-up. Less mounts to deal with.

Yes, once you get the bumpers off. Don't forget about the ones above the rear axle, alot of people overlook those and then can't figure out why the body won't separate from the frame. lol
It helps to read through the instructions a few times before starting any work. You may see or realize something that you otherwise wouldn't have thought of.
