Try "Search" in here, look around, check out what other people have done & their opinions. There's tons of info & 1st hand use/knowledge.

Turbo is looking for info on lifting his 2WD blazer. I think you guys are talking about a 4wd lift..
My son has a 2WD Jimmy. I installed the MOOG 2" coils and that brought the front up just above level with the rear. I just purchased 2000 s10 lift spindles and 2" lift shackles for the rear. Because the Jimmy is a dual piston caliper and the s10 is a single piston you have to use the s10 calipers and rotors. Luckily mine came with these parts. I will have to have a longer brake line made with s10 banjo on one end and Jimmy fitting on the hardline end as the s10 and jimmy lines are not interchangable, it will be @ $70 for the lines. I hope this helps you out Turbo
