Default 2"-3" lift

I want to lift my 1996 4.3l 4wd 4 door blazer about 2 or 3 inches. Is this kit a good price and does it come with everything i need? http://truxxx.com/chevrolet_products/401050.htm

any suggestions otherwise? what kind of other things might i need?

2-3 on a torsion adjustment? 2 I would say the max if even. If you are gonna spend that much money on something you can do without buying that kit (you can adjust the torsion bolts yourself) your better off getting a body lift kit. Besides, looks like that kit lifts only the fronts. If you are looking to do a suspension lift, do a quick search on lift kits, there is one kit that comes with full hardware for the front and rear for around that price.

anything more than 1.5" on your tbars and you may as well buy stock in cv and ball joint manufacturers because you will be replacing them way more than you want to. If you really want that much lift I suggest 2" body lift, crank your torsion bars as they are 1.5" max. (new keys are a waste of money imo) and grab some shackles for the back end. Keep in mind after a tbar crank your going to want to get an alignment asap.
