They are Goodyear Wrangler Authorities. Hard to beat for the price. $130 each at Wal-Mart.

sweet, vn ride btw & I'll measure it all up & see what's needed clearance-wise & get a pair lasered at work, bent & take them next door to get powder coated or get them cut out of stainless steel hehehe

Like Mav said, the blazer seems to 'squat' at the rear so 2" at the back & an inch or so TB crank should be a good stance & not damaging to the front end componants.

who wants a pair? lol

I was looking at your comparison picture between the stock shackles and the lift shackles and have a question. It appears from the picture that the lift shackles are only about 2" longer than the originals, which means that it's only a 1" lift at the wheels. Is that the case? The reason I'm asking is because I was looking at getting the same shackles.

Good question. I measured from the fender to the top of the rim before and after the shackles were installed. I saw about 1 3/4 inches of lift in the rear. After leveling out the front I fit 31x10.5's with minor fender modifications. Now I have to solve the frame rub issue. Or not.

I have no idea. I'm not sure if I still have them. If I can find them I'll measure them for you.
