Default 93 Fullsize Blazer, unknown lift...help

I cannot get the info I need from the previous owner, so I am stuck on my own for this. It came with 33 inch tires on it, no mods to the fenders, and no body lift.

So, is there a way I can figure out what type of lift is in it or the height?

From ground to the bottom lip of the fender is 39 inches. I have tried looking on my own for this answer, but have yet to have any luck. Attached is a pic before the tear down should it help as well.

My guess would be just a t-bar crank and shackle type of lift if it even has anything. So probably about 2" lift max.

Thanks. With that information, I decided to just go ahead and get a 4 inch lift for it. There was so much tweaking done on this from the past owner, I have to inspect near everything on it.

On the down side, I have seen the cost of a 4 inch lift for a 93....good thing i was sitting down when I looked!!!!!!

I don't really know anything about fullsizes though, so I would suggest trying a bit more research incase I'm wrong.

Hey TOTWM
Did you ever buy a lift? Did you fined out how it was lifted by the previous owner?

I want to run 33 but do not want to add a 6 in lift
Thanks
Kyle

I have not purchased a lift for it, but after the suggestion mentioned, I looked closer and it seems Jamaroon was correct about the t-bar crank and shackle type of lift.

The current plan is to do a 3 inch body lift and 4 inch suspension lift with this project.
