Default Saggin?

So I have put about 3000 miles on my blazer since buying it in august and its about that time for the oil etc.... but I noticed washing it the other day....

I remember when I had to pull out a little stool to wash the top whereas now I can reach it more easily.. I feel that it has been a little saggy... and feels a little lower...

Anything I should look into?

I posted this in general because its not life threatening... (i think) and just a suggestion space...

Are you sure that you're not going through a growth spurt?

How long has it been since the shocks were replaced? Any idea? That could be an issues as well as a worn out leaf spring.

I honestly dont know... But because of limited funds and college... I will be saving a little on the side... and then hoping to replace all the bushings and shocks with some lifts...

Speaking of which... can you get a suspension lift and then throw blocks on the leaf springs and body lift to get LOTS O LIFT?

I would start with the shocks.

As for as your other question about lots o lift, i have no idea.... I know you can put a SL and BL with a T bar crank all together.. so lets say 6" SL 2" BL, 1.5" Tbar. Thats approx 8.5" of lift.. thats a lot lol.
