Default 95 body lift? Help please!

I just bought a 95 blazer and id like to put the set of 31's on it that i just got. ive been looking for a body lift but cant seem to find any for the 1995 blazers. is there any way to get a 3inch lift for a 95 without messing with the t=bar? any help or advice is apreciated.

Clicky

Reference the thread I linked above. They don't make 3 inch body lifts for 2nd gen blazers I'm thinking. But you can get a 2 inch body lift, there are two options for that range. And then you should easily clear 31's depending on the wheels you are using.

i think you can get a 3 from earlier blazers and it will work but you will have to fab up a way to move the bumpers up with the body.

you would have to make you're own bumper brackets. if you want to get 3" out of your torsion bars be prepared to spend a lot of money on front end parts, cv axles, hubs, ball joints, and some more cv axles, if you do any sorts of off roading you're alignment will be out of wack all the time, you will have a much stiffer ride. so the only lifts that don't leave you with a headache and a hole in your wallet is a body lift, 5" trailmaster, and 6" superlift.

or you can trade in your blazer for something more practical to lift

I beleive you can use those, cranking your tbars that high will reek havek on your front end suslension. I had my stock keys the whole way up and 4wheeling a lot will add to wear. I bought the best parts for the front end and they still wear out pretty quick. U'll be replacing your hubs and cv axles at least twice a year

Coil spacers would work if ur blazer was 2wd, 4wd blazers dont have coils. And an add a leaf will lift your rear about an inch. Ive grown to hate torsion bars theres really no way to lift it without getting a drop down lift which is very expensive and alot of work involved and really doesnt give your suspension much more travel. The inexpensive lift that doesnt hurt your blazer and doesnt lift it to the sky is the 2" body lift. Then you can crank your tbars just a little and add a leaf or longer shackles and you have a 3" lift without hurting your suspension. You can clear 31's with 2-2.5" of lift
