Default 97 Blazer 4WD 4 door body lift

Hey guys,

I want to do a minor lift on my Blazer, something like 2".....and honestly I have no idea where to even start. What kind of lift kit should I be looking at, spacers, t-bar crank?

Just need some info to get started...looking to not spend over $300...

Body lift is about $200. Shackles are about $60 or you can fab them yourself. What costs is new tires and possibly rims depending on if decide to change them

I just got new tires and don't need new rims.

So a torsion bar crank in the front and new bigger spring shackles in the back is what you guys recommend?

Any tips or links on how to install/perform these procedures?

So apparently one of my torsion bars is cranked close to all the way up and the other way could still be cranked quite a bit....

What would a 4" lift require?

I just bought a performance accessories 2in body lift 95-97 4dr 4x4 for $89+free shipping on ebay. Cheapest I found it anywhere else was around $105.

PA132 is the item code, its your best bet for a good cheap lift.
