i think there are only two options for a 2wd blazer thatll be in ur price range, either a 2" body lift or Rough Country makes a 2" suspension lift, one other option would be a 3" body lift from a first gen but youll have to fab ur own brackets for the bumpers.

Just get lift coils and lift spindles, and youll be at 4-6'' in no time. Then throw a body lift on there, SOA the rear, and youve got yourself a big truck

SOA= spring over axle. Its putting the rear leaf springs on top of the axle rather than underneath. It nets about 5" of lift on good springs.

As for your fogs...what circuit did you wire it to?

For $600 your best bet is to just do a body lift and live with it. After that go to a spindle lift in the front and whatever you can afford in the rear.
