2" suspension lift
RE: 2" suspension lift
Oh......in that case. For 2 inches on suspension you dont have much choice other than cranking up the torsion bars and getting some shackles. Work pretty good but can cause front end wear. I still hold firmly that body lifts are the safest way to go. No wear, pretty easy to install, and you can go to 30" tires with no rubbing, 31" tires with minimal rubbing which can be fixed with trimming.

You can get shackles from Synergy Offroad or 4 Wheel Parts. It is not that hard to do the shackles, hardest part would be removing the factory mounts. The t-bar crank is easy, all you need is a 19mm socket and put the vehicle on jackstands and twist a couple bolts. Do a search on blazerforum and you should be able to find out more how to do the t-bar and shackle installation.

RE: 2" suspension lift
euro, block and spindles will do nothing for a 4x4..... block will actually lower it.... as for a 2 inch lift kit, superlift and rough country both make one. It is a glorified T-bar crank, just includes new upper control arms which are pointless. A 2 inch lift just cranks your front end and can cause damage to ball joint, cv's, etc..you can crank and do shackles, but I wouldn't reccomend it for a DD.
