I was just wonderin..I got a 95 blazer 2 door 4x4, if you were to do a spring over conversion in the rear, itd add a couple inches of lift, how would you level out the front? bigger coils and longer shocks or somethin? Its got me curious

an SOA conversion will give you between 3-4" of lift in the rear. There is no way to match that on the front. Just get a 6" suspension lift. Your blazer does not have coils in the front so spacers are out of the question.

its actually lifts it about 5in after you weld on a new spring perch. The highest you can lift the front it 1.5-2in

wow i feel like a dumbass lol. i completely forgot it didnt have coils. oh well, did a torsion bar and shackle lift and that should be enough for now. but damn them 6 inch lifts are pricey lol.
