lift kit questions
i have a 93 s10 blazer 4x4 my plan was is to get a 3 inch body lift, rough country 2in lift and new leaf springs in the rear with shackles to even it out. I got bored and turned my torsion bars up and it moved about 1.5in and the rear i put some cheap shackles on and now the rear sitts and stock height. My question is if i get the rough country lift will it lift the front up another 1in to 1.5in? My other question is when i do rear leaf springs if i put an add a leaf on it will it raise it even more or will it be a waste of money? I still plan on doing the new springs in the rear and the 3in body lift im just trying to figure out a way to match the front to the rear so im not nose diving thanks for the help.

I'm not sure on everything else but I do know the add a leaf will raise it about an inch, it raised mine almost an inch when I put mine on. You can deffinitely feel the difference in towing when there is weight put on the back end, no sag at all

The 2" rough country lift will not raise the front anymore than the 1.5 t-bar crank you already did. The Kit just comes with new A arms and torsion keys to reduce wear. The kit also has 2" shackles for the back and all around new shocks. Is that what you want to??? If not, you should pass on the kit.
In my opinion you should have the tbars cranked like you did, and the shackles, like you said, and then put the 3" body lift on.
Don't worry about the add a leaf. That will be pointless, and the back will be way higher than the front.

It took me personally 3 hours to replace the t-keys, but thats because I didn't have the right tool. Why do you want to replace the t-keys??? It is really pointless to do. I figured that out after I did the lift. It's the same exact thing as the stock ones.
If you just want the 2" lift. Heres what you do:
1. 1.5" t-bar crank (NO NEW KEYS, STOCK OK)
2. 2" shackles
Thats all you need
