Default Body Lift?

With a body lift i know the basics of it. But i still have a lot to learn about it. A 3" body lift for my 94 s10 blazer runs me about $150 give or take. But with the body lift where would such things go with it such as your gas tank. Would it still be accesable through the normal gas door. What about all the electronics and pedals and what not. Would they all line up with their original spots.

What overall modifications would you have to do with a body lift other than just putting blocks under the body?

Most of the body lifts i've been looking at come with an extension pipe for the gas tank inlet. I've been wondering about wiring and everything else myself though. I'm also curious about how the body lift effects steering geometry too...it all seems to simple!

Exactly. Everything does seem too easy. Bolt on a body lift and your set. What about everything else...

lol personally i like suspension lifts better i see body lifts as a fake lift cuz u gain nothing but tire clearance imo but they r pretty expensive

Yea..but with the IFS blazers, its either body lift, the T-bar route (which will eventually sag), or the 2 grand kits. Body lift seems to be the safer of the options..since the 2 inch t bar doesnt really give you much more capabilities in the way of clearance..
