Default Zr2 suspension lifts

Looking for a suspension lift for my zr2 2001 chevy blazer 2dr that doesn't include more than 2" body lift or cutting fenders. I've heard a combo of two different ones to make one but am hoping there is a solution other than S.A.S. ?

The ZR2 already is a bit higher and has the 31" tires so not many add a lift to these. The only readily available lift that I know of is the 2.5" lift from Rough Country. It retains the IFS. However, if I remember correctly, the 2.5" applies to non-ZR2 Blazers so that the ultimate lift with their kit is only 1.5".

I'm curious as to why the lift only gives 1.5" to a zr2. It just does t make sense unless it has to do with the rear leaf front mounting location.

Part of the 2.5 inches of lift for the non-ZR2 Blazers is going to be from being able to replace the stock tires with the 31s that are stock on ZR2s. This alone can add 1 to 1.5 inches of clearance depending if you are running 235/70- R15 or 235/75-R15 tires now.
