Default 6inch superlift

1998 4dr 4x4 LS blazer

does anyone know what all comes with these kits? Also does this kit put alot of stress and wear on CV joints and balljoints? i want the best kit that wont make me have to replace CV's and B-joints every 6months-1 year.

Also i want to add the 2inch BD lift kit i found on ebay for 199.00 includes everything and bumper brackets. so i will have a 8inch lift

If its goin to be to much trouble and wear out my stuff alot then ill just lower it and say screw it

Yeah you are going to wear out your front end. Nothing to do with the lift but the bigger tires you will inevitably put on, at least with something like a 6 inch. I would stick with the 2 inch bds (thats what i have). You won't be able to go too big with that set up so just watch the backspacing on the wheels if you get aftermarket. If you are sticking with stock wheels you really will be fine.

I have a 6" Superlift and don't have any issues with wear and tear on my front end components. As long you follow the directions and not turn up t-bars to get extra lift you will be fine.

These lifts actually move the entire front suspension down including the front diff. If I remember right, it keeps the stock angles on the axles.

If you can afford to do it then go with the 6" lift. You will get much better drive line geometry than with a 2" suspension lift that just cranks the hell out of the t-bars.
