I've had my PA 2" BL up in my attic for about 6+ years now for my 2002 BlaZeR2. Your video has inspired me to just fuckin' install the bitch already. ::favorited::

Was thinking of doing this myself using hockey pucks lol. Damn good vid with great details on what needs to come off. After basically dismantling the entire front end of the truck, I changed my mind lol

Thanks for the comment sir-Def a big project- happy I had some buddies assist. I bought a second Blazer a few years later, and only decided to do the body raise- the suspension was too much to do a second time around lol

Nice work on the vid. Some of these idiots think you owe them a detailed play by play. They can go and figure our their own shit, pay someone or screw off. I watched it to see if it was going to be too much or work something I could handle myself. I feel confident I can pull it off now thanks to your vid.

solid video dude. Im about to order the lift and install it on my 2000 jimmy, and then order the rough country suspension lift kit.

@julesb12345 I actually just used Rocker guard/ asphalt undercoat. I taped the lines around the fenders and sanded them, then sprayed them a few times over a month with the spray can. I did the wheel wells, and the frame too. I don't have any after market fender flairs, just the spray. Thanks for the comment!

I just did a 2 in. performance body parts lift on my 1998 Blazer today and I had to use all 12 body blocks, and I am "pre-2001". Also the fuel neck filler extension step would have been nice to see. But thank you for the insight, I will also be doing a BDS 2.5 inch suspension lift early next week, and appreciate that video also. What tires went on yours? I will be putting 33's on my stock 15in rims.

Great explanation! Very much appreciated! I'm wondering if I should buy the kit or build one. Is there any parts I most definitely cannot fabricate myself? Also, perfect opportunity while you had all that off toclean the rust and undercoat it. . . . Then again, that's why I'm so slow. I'd easily turn this 2 day job into 6 😅
@oldskoolsoldier0555 жыл бұрын
All it is really is plastic pucks and bolts...I did this same kit on my 05 2 door back in 2015 and I ended up having to use the fuel neck extender..my fuel neck hose stretched and popped off...meanwhile on my old '00 (in the video) I didnt use the fuel neck extender either and no problems!

I used penetrating fluid on my body bolts, let it soak all day, respray the night before, then should be good next day. I bought sockets too that are for taking out stripped bolt heads too just in case!! Make sure you use a breaker bar, no chance in hell with a rachet

On my Blazer, I didn't have to modify the steering column. In the kit I purchased, I believe there were steering column extenders, also fuel neck extenders. I didn't require either one.
