My question is i was thinking about a 3 inch lift and I wasnt sure if I would have to get a stiffened suspension or not. What I wanted was just to put the blocks in that just give it a little more height, Im not looking to go off roading, but I do want to make it look beefier. If not a 3 then maybe a 2? Its a 2001 blazer 4 door, 4x4 and a V6

I would just suggest doing a 2" body lift with some 31" Mudterrains.

if your looking for lift DO NOT buy blocks, since the leafs on our trucks are below the axle blocks will only lower ur truck.
