For the 2wd spacers that go over the coil you will not see much lift, only 1", ive done them before if you look in my album. Blazer's cannot do blocks in the back because you have to do an axle flip because the leaf srping is under the axle not on top like most trucks. by putting the leaf spring on top of the axle you will get about a 4" lift but you will need longer shocks and longer sway bar links along with the axle flip conversion kit. The best way to lift the rear would be lift shackles they have them at most automotive stores, well they do in florida at least. and you can get the rubber boot looking coil spacer at most automotive stores to and those are simple you just put above or below the coil, I have put two coil spacers to one coil once and got a 2'' lift out of it. put one on top of the coil and one on the bottom of the coil, you have to drop the lower a frame to wedge it up in there but it works. the coil spacers from the store are 9bucks a peice. so around 40 bucks you can lift the front 2''. But the best way to lift a 2wd is just get a 2'' body lift for 200 bucks from performance accessories if you want the most clearance for bigger tires. What size tires are you wanting to run?
What steps go into putting in the coil spacers?
