Anyone have any pictures of their trailblazer with a 3" lift meister lift and a 2" zone body lift? Or even just the 2" zone body lift. Just want to know what it looks like. Thanks.

I had the 2 inch body lift until the 3 was developed. I had it paired with the 2.5 lift since the 3 inch susp did not exist then either. Should be pics in my build thread.

Hows driving on the highway with a body lift? People have been telling me that if I put the 2" body lift on that it'll have a lot of roll and be really tippy on the highway.. And by peole I mean 2 people haha..

2 kinda ignorant people? ;) Have they ever used or driven with a body lift?

A body lift keeps the COG lower than a suspension lift. It won't affect the suspension. Handling really won't change except very mildly and likely not noticeable at all.

Hahah.. I was just like "I'm doing it anyways, It looks cool". But at the same time, he scared me into thinking that I'm gonna roll my tb driving on the highway with a body lift, but shouldn't stiffer springs, panhard bar, and a wider stance help with that haha?

Yup. The springs and width will help and probably improve handling.

Make sure you make some gap guards if you really want it to look good. Had paint up the frame or add sliders to hide it.
