It won't change anything. People running 5 or 6 inch lift kits are raised up much higher and don't have problems.

I don't see issues with that short of a lift. All joints will have added stress however, ask Benedict1337 how many CV axles he's gone through lol.

U joints may wear out a little faster but there shouldn't be any major issues. A "wobble" would more likely be caused by an unbalanced driveshaft or a U-joint that was already worn out to the point where it would need replacing very soon anyway.

How easy would it to be to just buy all the parts separately for a 5in lift without dropping 2 grand on a BDS or supalift product? Anyone done it before?

Hello, I have a chevrolet blazer 4x4 2 door 2003 (I think it's a ZR2) and would like to install on it a lift kit. I need help, because I don't know what kit I have to mount to lift it. (look at my pics to see the car. Thanks)
If someone can bring me some pages where to buy the best lift kit.
