Default Suspension lift and other stuff

I was hoping someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction for a 5" suspension lift. I've seen guys that have a first gen that have them, but I can't find anything except a 2.5" from rough country. Also looking for a grille guard or bumper that I could mount a winch to. Thanks in advance!
sorry, just realised I posted in tech, didnt mean to, can a mod move or delete this post please?

I could be wrong { and it wouldn't be the first time } but I don't think you can get a 5" lift out of the torsen bars even with lift keys - my pea brain thinks 2.5" or maybe a 3" would be max .....

Pretty sure that won't fit a
93 S10 or K5.

Ah, I missed his username, and he didn't include what vehicle he needed a lift for. I'll assume it's for a '93 because lifts for K5s are all over the place.

No such thing as a 93 K5.

Judging from the '1st gen' in his post, I'm going to say he's inquiring about an s-series.

Same thing I figured. I didn't say anything about a '93 K5.

I put in 1993 as an option on the RC website and one of the options was K5 Blazer.

Just going by what it said.

It looks to only be for 2nd gen S10s/Blazers but it sure is cool!

I haven't done any looking around, but I really doubt anyone is making lift kits for 1st gen S-series anymore. They're too old and the lift kit would cost more than most of the 1st gen trucks.

Your best bet might be to contact some of the main aftermarket companies to enquire directly?
