Full size 8" lift kit on a midsize ???
I am just wondering is it possible to take an 8" lift that is meant for a full size Blazer and make it work on my 89' S-10 Blazer? I really want to make Sasha BIG and the 8" kit is only for a full size but if anyone has any idea if this is possible please let me know (I know there will have to be lots of time put in but I am willing to do so if I can get 8" of lift) here is the link to the kit I am looking at getting.

Not without doing an SAS (solid axle swap)..... You can go with a 6" kit there's a few of those around for the s10 blazers. add a 2" body lift to that and you've got your 8"

How much does a SAS cost? and also I have looked for a 6" kit for the S10 Blazer and the biggest I can find is a 2.5 - 3" suspension lift and the body lift I have already found it is a 3" from rough country so I just need to know where I can get a 6" lift link please. Thanks.

Link is in my last reply for the 6" lift. SAS would cost quite a bit of money, you'd have to find an axle, fab it to fit, etc etc.....very time and money consuming. I wouldn't recommend going that route unless you plan on wheeling alot or otherwise "need" a solid axle up front. just my $.02

But that says it is for a 98-03? I have a 89' 1st gen s-series I don't see how that would work? are you sure it will?

holy crap that is way expensive don't know if I want to put that much into it

I will probably just stick with the 2.5" rough country suspension lift and the 3" body llift and just run 33's what do you think my estimated total lift would be? about 7" maybe more?

The body would sit about 7" higher than it was initially including the extra 2 inches gained by the bigger tires. This is the most lift for the money in my opinion

So 9" all in all that will be awesome I can't wait until income tax lol I already figured parts are going to run me around $2,400-$3,000 depending on what size tires I go with but that's for the suspension lift, body lift, and 5 wheels and tires (including spare that's why I said 5) also the tire size I will be going with will probably be a 35 instead of a 33 because that way I can probably get an even 10" of lift total which would be badass IMO and I also agree that would be the most lift for my money.
