Default How to make my blazer look like a ZR2?

I wanna know how to make my blazer look like a ZR2? I don't need it to be one, I just need to know if a 3 inch lift, 31's and wheel spacers will do it? Any ones sharp eye for this would be much appreciated.

I think pretty much a Rough country 2.5" lift and 31x10.5 nail it for the height. 1.5'' Hubcentric wheel spacers, make sure you have the 2 door blazer and attach a swing out tire carrier. zr2 flair's and your good to go bub! ohya zr2 decal's

zr2 flares are quite expensive but yeah a lift and 31s with some spacers or offset wheels would get it looking pretty good.

Or........
Just sell the one you have now and buy a real ZR2.
For the time, effort and money you'll have to spend, it's probably the better choice.

Idk about your area, but there's literally dozens of them near me for cheap.
Here's one I'm thinking about grabbing for the winter - 99 CHevy Blazer
Psh, so what, it needs an alternator and has somewhat high milage. Big deal. Can't beat it for $1K.

The flares don't easily attach to regular fenders either. They have to be trimmed/cut/modified to make them fit.

Oh JR2004 I can't sell my blazer, I've done way too much to it, fabricated a front hitch receiver that hides behind the front valance, and made up my own front a rear winch set up. Pictures to come soon.
