I have an 1992 chevy s10 blazer . I wanted to lift the truck with out putting a body lift. how can i raise the suspension about 2 -3 inches from its original spot
. Is it possible? How hard is it do be done? and How much would it cost?.

I was wondering if i could adjust the torsion bars and put bigger shackles in the back.

i would say a body lift is so much easier, i installed a 2inch lift on a late 90s s10 blazer and it was a mess, the cv joints bottomed out, even when backing down to like 1.5 inches they sprayed grease all over the place. youd probably need a diff lowering kit up front too

you cant do 2 inches in the front only 1.5 and also did you have bad ball joints? just wondering but yea ive seen people do it with no problem i also got all my answers from this

you can install a rough country 2" lift kit or a superlift 2" lift, they come with 2" shackles to lift the back. but there are lots of people that don´t recomend that kit, i had a 88 s10 blazer and i do de torsion bar crank change the torsion keys and put shackles at the back, but i have some problems with allignment, that the arms of that kits solve that problems. now i have a 98 s10 blazer and want to lift it but the right way

Dude,off topic but i found your bracket! for like 5 minutes. I managed to get the whole middle console for 10 bucks..On the way up to the building to pay for it my hand slipped and grabbed the lid,and broke the bracket. I said a few words...

We will get this!
