Default Still kinda confused about which lift to buy

For a 2001 blazer, 2dr, 2wd.
Looking for 4" of lift so I can run 30"-32" tires.
I know I need s10, brakes, rotors, calipers, bearings and seals.
Which lift do I need? Do I do a rough country 2" suspension and 2" body?

RC 2" lift is a waste of money (reindexed keys or not 1.5" is about all your gonna get over stock without replacing cv's and ball joints so often your gonna wish you owned the manufacturer) check out the DIY section for tbar crank how to just do that and shackles in the rear for 2" suspension and add the 2" body but 31" tires is about the best you can get without hacking into your fenders or spending the money for a 5-6" lift kit or SFA.

Bah sorry you even put that in the first post and I missed it, shackles in the rear is still valid but I'll not embarrass myself further and let those that know 2wd better answer you on the front lift.
