Rough Country - K5 Blazer 3" Body Lift Install

Follow along as we at Extreme Speed and OFFROAD install a 3 ”nch Rough Country body lift in a 1988 K5 Chevy Blazer. The Kit itself costs $85.00 plus $29.00 shipping for 2 day delivery (the customer wanted it quick). As you can see from the picture, the body lift comes complete with blocks, new bolts, nuts, washers, shifter extension, and Loc-Tite. Since the Blazers did not change designs until '92, there are no bumper relocation brackets in this kit, unlike the pickups which changed in '88.
This is a picture of the Blazer before we started. Notice how the 31" tires look stuffed in the fender wells. This customer wanted to run 33's with an aggressive mud tire for hunting the back woods and logging trails of Maine. At this time, with money being tight, he decided that he would go with the body lift instead of a suspension lift.
