ZR2 Restoration/ Build Help
 

I am about to Completely restore my fathers 2003 ZR2, and I need help with this build. The plan is to do a 5.3 LS, and completely Upgrade the suspension. I have extensive experience when it comes to working on cars but this is my first truck build. So I am lost here. I do not know what brands are good/ Your experiences etc. I am planing on going tubular suspension, Poly, the works. I do not want to change the ride height nor the OEM look of the truck.

I need just about everything. I cant even find set of 33MM bushings for this thing.

What do you guys Rec? It seems like the ZR2 Has very little aftermarket following compared to the normal Blazers. I cant even find but 1 set of tubular Front Upper control arms. will normal Blazer sets work? 4WD/2WD Control arms different? Let me know! Thanks in advance.

Well the control arms themselves, if I'm not mistaken, and someone correct me if I am wrong, are identical between the ZR2 and non ZR2, it's the frame that makes up the difference in the height and width. So bushings for a non ZR2 should fit in the ZR2 arms no problem. Likewise, you should be able to use tubular arms made for a non ZR2 4x4 on a ZR2 model.

Thats what I was thinking as well. I was looking into these. Not many choices out there.

Those specific ones are not going to work. They're for 2wd, and the lowers are actually for use with air struts

Dang. Like I said I Really dont know. what do you recommend?
