98 4x2 questions

Hello everyone, found this forum on google and i must say this is a really great site.

I am about to take over from my brother his 98 2door 4x2 blazer. I am using it pretty much as a camping hunting, fishing beater.

Few questions I want to ask before i really make the choice to do this.

How are the suspensions on these?

I plan on just a body lift, any advice on the install?

Any issues I should know if i decide to throw a rough country lift on it?

Any information i should know or look for?

Re: 98 4x2 questions

why bodylift a 2wd? sell it to someone thatll put the 2wd to good use.. aka lower/bag it.

bodylift a 4wd..

i want a lowered blazer.. but 4x4= 3/3 max before issues...

but finding a 2wd around here is almost impossible

Re: 98 4x2 questions

The way gas is if you just HAVE to lift it I'd rather have a 2wd for the better mpg. However lifting it will lower your mpg
