want to do a suspension lift
i want to do a 3 inch suspension lift but i don't know where to find one cheap or how to do it or what parts need to be changed like shocks and such. any help is greatly appreciated.

nobody makes a 3in suspension lift. Your options are 2, 5, and 6.

If you wanna stay cheap then just crank your T-bars for a free 1.5" lift in the front... that will level your Blazer out.
Then install a body lift if you want to spend a few hundred bucks.

the only lift you can get that is 3 inches is a body lift. and the 3 inch body lift requires modification to make it fit a second generation. and once you get past 2 inches of lift things get expensive...

Rough country has a 2 to 3 inch suspenion lift it's not that hard to install but you do need a torsion bar tool to unload and load the torsion bars and you can crank it up to about 3 inches higher

Getting 3" out of the RC lift is straining things further than they should be because you are not dropping the front diff and re-aligning things properly. If your front end is sagging already a t-bar crank (with better T-bars) might seem like 3", but it really isn't.
Lots of folks run the 1.5" t-bar crank and rear shackles to fit 31s with little or no rub and a 2" body lift basically eliminates any rub without trimming.

the rough country lift is pretty much a waste of money. the only thing that it comes with that is anything special is new control arms. this still only lifts the front end 2" and isn't any better than cranking the stock tbars

ok. so 2in lift isn't bad but i cant seem to find one anywhere. and is turning the torsion bars up hard to do. and fender flares are hard to find too as i just fixed the rust and holes in my fenders.

cranking the tbars is really easy. and just look for 2" lift shackles they are everywhere
