2" or 3" Body Lift?
I just picked up an 88 s-10 4x4. I want to put on 31's since it needs new front tires anyways. Looking for opinions on how to better select which to go with. What have others done and why? It currently has running boards which I haven't decided if I will keep them or not. Thanks

Re: 2" or 3" Body Lift?
I have a 99 s10 Blazer, and I am planning on doing a 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift. I think that the truck looks good with about 4" total of lift - and 31's or 32's.
 Of course, that is just my

Re: 2" or 3" Body Lift?
Yeah I plan on doing about a 2" suspension lift later on down the road as well. I'm just trying to determine if 2" is sufficient, or to go with 3". If 2" is plenty, that's what I would prefer.

Re: 2" or 3" Body Lift?
3" will clear the tires nicely, where you might still have some rubbing with 2"
Either 1 should look good with a 2" suspension lift A 3" makes some jobs easier like engine swaps. It's easy to reach those top bell housing bolts then. We'd like to see before and after pic's if possible

U should swap the 2.8 for a 350 and hit my forsale thread up for some of the parts to do it. *cheap plug*
Bigger tires= more power than 2.8 can provide

Re: 2" or 3" Body Lift?
Hey OBP that whole roll on paint job should work well becuz on Trucks they had this roll on primer that they used and it was a roller brush w primer on it so go for it.

Re: 2" or 3" Body Lift?
That was my plans.
Oh I forgot, my Blazer wouldn't have any problem turning 31" tires with the 2.8L. It's one of them that left the factory with 4.10 gears. Although since I just started looking for a Diesel powerplant I might wait until I get 1 and see how much power I have. 5.7L might just work out http://groups.google.ca/group/rec.au...6b205a3186ce4f
