you could do 4" for roughly 300
torsion bar crank and rear shackles....2"
body lift.........2"

but yeah...suspension lift is up there...more than 2000 if you have pro do it.
i did mine and it cost me 1700.00

im not too new to body lifts but how would i go about doing a rear shackle lift? im sure i could learn how to do it from some loser on youtube but i'd rather get an honest answer from one blazer fanatic to another

i want to end up with about 3in total because i dont have big tires yet so it would look weird without the 33's i want

FYI, you won't be able to easily/cheaply lift the front 3" to match. Most people here don't do more than 1.5".

Here are some how-to threads on tbar crank and shackle installation

heres my setup im doing i have a 2000 ZR2

Superlift Torsion Bar Keys for S10 Blazer Sonoma (including ZR2) - Synergy Offroad

Superlift 85146 Superride Shocks for 2" Lift ZR2

Fabtech 2 inch Blazer and S10 lift shackles - Synergy Offroad

Superlift 85146 Superride Shocks for 2" Lift ZR2

on top of the factory suspesion lift youll have roughly 4-5" of lift then im doing a 2 inch body lift

also the shackles you can find at a pep boys or speed store i got mine for 17 dollars there are 3 holes on the bottom and you can make it higher or lower depending on which hole you have the leaf in
