Default How hi can I go ?

I have a 1997 chevy blazer 4wd. I was just wondering if it could be raised up in the front using the factory torission keys on the torission bars? If so how hi, just wanting 2 inches. and what would be the best way to raise the rear? longer shackles? and do I need to replace the shocks to only go up 2 inches?

Yes, you can raise the front with the original torsion bars and keys:https://blazerforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37078
As for the rear, shackles would be your best bet. I bought a pair at autozone for 20 or 30 bucks and they've worked great for me.
