Default lifting/ general questions

well I have been browsing the site and looking for a little help but kinda striking out. this may sound retarded but this is my first 4x4 so bare with me. I found the 2 in shackle kit I will do and then the tbar crank to like 1 in up front. now the body lift is the thing I cant find info on I know on the bonnevilles they have used hockey pucks as a "solid" mount. I sold my bonne a while back and have several puck just hanging around has anyone tried a spacer like setup for the body lift. I looked for pics but cant seem to find any of how it is setup. if you guys can decipher what my sleep deprived brain is trying to say please point me in the right direction. not looking for a lot of lift just enough to clear some of the smaller wildlife and if I do have to take on a deer I want the bumper to take as much as possible because I hate body work.
the plans are to make this a snow monster so busting drifts is easier lifted.

Hey man, welcome to the forum.
I did a quick search "suspension lift" & got this:
https://blazerforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=44

Seems to be a lot of useful stuff in there. I have a 3" BL (BL = body lift) on my 2002 Blazer that was there when I got it. I'm not sure there's a 3" BL for these, more 2" ones, so I'm betting the one on mine is retro fitted from some other lift kit. There aren't any bumper relocation brackets etc, just the pucks. BUT it is up 3" & fits the 31 x 10.5's with a little rubbing at full turn.
