That'll be smarter then. Get everything I need to put it under the blazer then actually do it. I found a few kits for a sas

keep in mind with sas especially if you're going to do leaf springs in the front that you will have a very stiff and rough ride. If you are going to use it at a daily driver you might want to use coils in the front, and in the rear if you are fairly good at fabbing up suspension components. or you could just get a body lift leave the suspension stock and throw 31's on it. Torsion bars in the front of blazers are terrible if u crank them up, and even worse when you take it off road.

I was gonna leaf it. And drive it to save miles on my Silverado. But I may go a totally different route with just a body lift

Is there a kit to do a coil over front suspension?

this is the one for leafs
http://www.offroaddirect.com/94-04-C...ngs-_p_28.html

Will this one work for coil over?

it says for S10 I assume it will work for my blazer too, but you know what they say when you assume.

May end up going with leafs up front. Easier to lift and easier to find a front end.
