Default Horrible time finding lift

Can someone please help.
Looking for lift. Body or Susp. Somewhere around $400 or so.
Just got a '97 Blazer 4wd for my birthday a few months ago.
Recently bought a set of Ion Alloy 182's 15x8, and wanna run 31's or 32's.
Want something a bit more than a 2" but no more that 5". Have looked everywhere from 4wheelonline to suspensionconnect to rockymountain and cant find anything for my vehical within a resonable price. And the few that i have found are spring packages rather that torsion bars.

Please help. Let me know whats liftin you or your buddys up that could help me out.

There are none. These vehicles aren't that great for lifting.

About all you can do to get into the range you're wanting is to do a body lift as well as a small suspension lift.

There are 2" suspension lift kits which can also be cheaply done by just cranking the torsion bars up (the kits come with new adjusters instead of using the stock ones). There are 2" and 3" body lifts although the 3" are intended for first gen trucks and you'd have to come up with your own bumper brackets. There are also the much more expensive 5" and 6" lifts. Those come with brackets to lower the control arms, front differential, axle shaft and torsion bar crossmember.

If you look around the lifting tech subforum (I'm going to move this thread there) you will find a lot of info regarding different lifts and methods.
