lifting a 96 2wd blazer
#1
i know there's other posts about this but all the details are mixed between years and what not so i just need some straight answers...
I want to lift my 96 2wd blazer 2 inches and id rather not go with a body lift, so can anyone give me a link for shackles?
Or any ideas for lifting the front?
and will 265/70/15 fit with a 2' lift?
anything helps, thank you

i just installed a fabtech 2-3 inch suspension lift kit today at work on a 99 s10 blazer, it was basically upper control arms, torsion bar keys and rear shackles.
measured before and after got 1.75 inches outt the rear and 2.75 out of the front, truck does sit level. no idea on the tires though. customer picked it up with the stock tires still on it.
i googled around and i cant even find that kit anywhere
this is basically the same kit

the first one obviously won't work cuz 2wd suspension does not have torsion bars.
i might be wrong but that 2wd drive kit will not work in the rear unless you flip your axle below the leafs ((which will get you about 2 to 3" anyway)) cuz it uses those blocks that only work when the axle is below the leafs. works for the front. or can always be cheap and get coil boosters (prob what i'm gonna do ha)
