You can buy 3" shackles for these blazers off ebay, i have them on mine, in fact one of the members on this forum makes them, 3leaffab? or something along those lines, heres the link...Clicky

I guess its not a true lift kit, but you can achieve around three inches of lift with it? all a matter of opinion

 

Ok but 1. What would lift the front 3 inches to match? Besides one HELL of a tbar crank.

2. Did you pay $1000 bucks for them shackles? If so they better be real f##kin sweet! ha ha just jokin'.

but really I think i heard of trailmaster or someone offering a 3 inch suspension long ago but I could very much be wrong. Either way, those prices are insane, you should be able to find better. Maybe ask friends and family if they know a shadetree mechanic that could help. My buddy hooked me up with a guy that did my bodylift for like $200. He said $150 labor for a ring and pinion swap, and the local 4x4 shop wants $500 labor.

 

In respnse to your first question, I had about an inch or inch and a half of sag in the back so they extra inch made up for that

 

Oh you mean they were three inch long shakles, giving you about 1.5 inch of lift. Or 6 inch long shakles giving you about 3 inch of lift? Not being mean, I just never seen shakles over 3-4 inch long. Not being funny or anything I was just wondering. Any shakles over 2 inch longer than factory is illegal in my state. What did you pay for em'?

 

they are 6 inches longer than the stock shackles, which i believe is illegal in michigan also, but i dont think they will ever notice. so because they are six inches longer you get 3 inches of lift...for the price check out the link in my first post of this page, those are the exact ones i bought

 

Thats pretty cool. Learn something new everyday. And I admit I was wrong, it wasn't a 3 inch suspension from trailmaster, it was a 4 inch suspension. Truckinweb.com did a write up on installing it on a 2nd gen s10 blazer.

I don't know about Michigan, but you mention "they" won't notice. This they wouldn't be a state vehicle inspection would it? I was wondering if you have inspection, if you have had it inspected since you did the shackle lift. I'm itching to do shackles, and wondering what I could get away with. Just because of the tires and body lift I had to get a modified sticker. And for the first time since I have been driving, they pulled the wheels off and went over my vehicle with a fine tooth comb for that modified sticker. Before all most places did was check the lights, beep the horn and slap a sticker on it .
