Rough Country 2.5" Lift Kit for 82-04 Chevy S10/S10 Blazer | GMC Sonoma - 24230

I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE TRUCK AFTER INSTALLING THIS LIFT!!! Don’t mind the name this is my wife’s account. I bought this lift as a Christmas gift to myself for a 1998 Blazer 4x4 I just picked up. I also got all the other suspension parts new from rock auto so my project took longer than most because I replaced everything. This lift was a fair amount of work but with the instructions it was pretty straightforward. Everything was in the box and easy to identify. The only thing I found wrong was one of the bolts for the diff drop bracket was wrong but it wasn’t hard to find one that would work. The lift was a true 2.5 inch lift. The ride is a little stiff but then again it’s a 25 year old 4x4 truck. I put 31x10.5r15 tires on and they rubbed a little bit because I’m running a -19 offset but if you ran bigger tires on the stock rims they’ll fit just fine. I’d recommend upgrading the steering components ESPECIALLY the idler arm. Overall I really like this lift and would buy it again. If you get on the RC website you’ll find the directions with clearer pictures that are in color and can be a big help when trying to look at fine details in the directions.

I got everything I needed. I see a lot of comments that it's hard to install. Here is a hint go to your gm dealer and get their heat valve penatre. Do not get on paint. Makes it really easy

You have to cut brkt off ur frount diff

The kit has everything you need to do a proper lift on your vehicle. No more CV joint boots exploding. Highly recommended.

Product came badly damaged and missing major components. The hardware was all without bags or labels. It’s missing an entire shock, all the paint is flaked off and damaged. I’m out of a way to work and I’m out $650.

A little more work involved in installation but worth the work.

Good

This kit ruined my 97 S10 Blazer suspension - as in caused steering / suspension to vibrate at freeway speeds - .Since installed 2020, I spent hundreds of dollars trying to correct vibration, even having driveshaft balanced - R/C rep said steering stabilizer would resolve vibration issue, it was a NO-GO, more money/labor wasted - rear shocks grommets wore prematurely, R/C said they didn't have replacement grommets and I had to buy new/replacement shocks, I fabricated grommets to cure the issue. Had to lower vehicle just enough to minimize vibration. This is a proprietary kit that you cannot replace with other brand/aftermarket parts.
