Default 94 blazer lift help!!!

I have a 94 s-10 blazer that is converted to a buggy. I cant do a body lift since my roll cage it welded to my frame. I want to get 4+ inches of suspension lift for it. Anyone know any kits available with this amount of lift.

You built it up as a buggy, but kept the IFS?

Since it is already a "buggy" I would simply bust out with the sawzall and get to work! Then you can run bigger tires and not have to spend money on a lift.

There isnt any for a 4x4. You can only go 2' before the CVs get too steep. You would have to create a differential drop bracket to go any higher. Thats why SOA flips are usually only done with a full 5' or 6' lift kit.

SOA = spring over axle. Its the same as what youre calling a flip kit.

As for dropping the front diff, its only mounted to the frame in 3 places, so if you can handle a bit of fabrication, im sure you could do it.





But...after you drop the diff...then you have control arms to drop too so you keep your suspension geometry the same. Then...after you drop those, you have to relocate your steering. Then youre on to brake lines.


Basically...youre making your own 5' lift kit. Youd be better off buying one
