I have a 96' 4x4 blazer with 31 inch tires and a 2 inch lift/rear shackles and torsion bar lift.So my problem is when i hit big bumps offroading my wheels hit the top of the fender weels.Im wondering if it could be bad shocks or what?

if your hitting bumps that hard then you need stiffer shocks and heavier weight springs and that will stop the bottoming out.

You sure your jitting the "top" of the fender wells?
Teh bumpstops should stop the tires from hitting the top of the fenders, especially with a 2" body lift.

ya im sure of it,but i think its the shocks because it has stock shocks and 150000 miles on it,but not all the way sure

i think changing shocks will help with that change those out and see cause 150000 on them there probably worn pretty good

What kind of shocks do yall think i should get,and im not sure if i need longer shocks or not because its lifted the 2 inches,at a local shop they have monroe sensa-trac shocks but i wasnt sure if those were stiff enough or not.

you have a 2" lift?
Cranking the torsion bars is not a lift.
2" body lift is not a supsension lift.
Neither cranking the torsion bars, or a body lift will require new shocks, you haven't changed the location of the shock mounts in either case. Stock sized shocks will still work.
Shocks are designed to control bounce.
Did you lose a bump stop?
