suspension and body worth it??
 
I have a 97 jimmy four door and for the summer im planning on getting the 5" trailmaster lift..I know you can run 32's with this but i was wondering if it would be worth it to gte the 2" BL along with it to clear 33's, I dont do that much off roading i just want the stance. Has anyone got and pics of a four door with a 5" lift and 32's?

If you're not going to wheel it hard, i'd just throw the 33's on with the 5" lift.

would 33's fit with the 6" of backspacing and just the 5" suspension though? or is the BL a must have in order to do that?

you would probably be okay with the 33's and just suspension if you arent doing alot of off-roading..

yea like i said its just mostly for the stance...i mostyly just go mussing in the fields around here and drive on the beach, no real full out trails or anything, but i wish i could get a pic of this because i just don't like the look of a truck with the whole wheel well filled with tire, you know what i mean??

damn a_tack those are some beautiful blazers. I wish i knew more about lifting :(

any idea what a 5" lift would cost a guy.........where would i go, just to any suspension shop? if its under a g then i could prolly get er done this summer too. i would love to run some big swampers.

trailblazers in lexington, KY quotes suspension lifts cheaper than body lifts... but you are probably looking at anywhere from $400-$700 maybe?

[align=left]hello gentlemen,
I have a couple of questions about the lifted blazer (95 4door w/4.3 vortec), what is the widest tire you can fit with 5" suspention and 2" body lift and Probly 33's. also has anyone had any problems wth the driveshaft u-joints with the lift, and does anyone have anyother tips or any advice on lifts?

Gosh, those blazers looks amazing. I would love to do that but I still live with the parents and they got this lame rule that I cannot lift my truck because it will tip. I have been convining them though that if I go with a lift I will also get wheel spacers so it will be more safe...

it wwill still be extremely top heavy..... think of how top heavy these truck are now.... then raise the center of gravity 3-8 inches...lol

Man those lifted Blazers look awesome! I figure I'm gonna wait a couple more years and hopefully prices will drop.[&:]
