Well, the time has come to make a descision, need final opinions...

junior3382 · 03-13-2008, 12:02 AM

I am lifting the blazer. I have decided to stay with the IFS lift. I know there are lots that would prefer to see a welcomed SAS done, but not on this one, not this time. Here is the issue. There are so many options. So, which lift kit should I go for? Prices are not that different, although each offers something the other does not. In the end, truck will run 33" tires. In addition to either of these, it will also get a 2" body lift.

What I am looking for is which is better quality? Stronger parts? Which is in the end, going to give me less issues and still be decent for the ocasional off road use, and a daily driver. Feel free to express any opinions, positive or negative. I want to know.

Not to mention, you never know who might need this info in the future...lol.

go with the 6", you can fit some 35's under it, its great!

junior3382 · 03-15-2008, 12:55 PM

I am worreid running 35's will not work with my current set-up. I do not want to over turn the front driveline and what not. Besides even with the superlift and a BL, I would still have to shave the fenders to run those tires, where as if I go with 33's, I can get a little more flex before they rub, and not have to shave my fenders...LOL. I do like the 6" because it comes with a Dual shock setup on the front which I think looks really mean....

peterbilt · 03-15-2008, 12:56 PM

33's are fine 2, i just like big tires. if you havent bought the tires yet, nitto terra grapplers are good tires, also bfg mud terrian and all terrians.

junior3382 · 03-15-2008, 12:58 PM

Did you see the new BFG MT's? They totally redesigned them, stronger and look tons meaner! Wonder if they perform any better?....

peterbilt · 03-15-2008, 01:01 PM

if and wen i get my truck, im getting BFG MT's with american racing wheels. like this,

thats the exact tire and rim, im getting um on 31's, 4 inch lift by fab tech

junior3382 · 03-15-2008, 01:10 PM

Yup, you got it! LOL. I am getting American Racing rims as well, but not those. If I could load a pic on this PC I would, that will have to wait. Although I think I am going with a less agressive and soft tire due to this also being driven everyday.

peterbilt · 03-15-2008, 01:11 PM

do you have photobucket, it makes pics much easier.

junior3382 · 03-15-2008, 01:32 PM

I do have photobucket, but I am at work right now, and the spam filters and blockers and the firewall do not allow me to access much. Surprized it allows me here.... not that I am complaining, but meanwhile, when I get home, sometime this weekend, I will load the wheel so you know what I am talking about.
