Default 2wd/4wd spindle conversion?

i have a 2000 blazer, wanted to lift it a couple inches for clearence. (body lift no help) already own 2" blocks and ubolts. was wondering about how to lift the front without throwing the near perfect alignment way outta wack. lift coils? or will spindles off a 4x4 s10/blazer do the trick?

comments please...












peace.

Nope, the 4wd and 2wd spindles are not interchangable and even if they were the spindle heights are the same. So you can either get lift coils($) or lift spindles($$$).

Later, Doug

Also the leaf springs run underneath the axle, so the blocks would only lower the truck in the rear.
