Default Wanting to Lift Truck, Recommendations?

Guys,

I have a 97 Chevy Blazer (2 Door, 4WD) and as of right now I'm running 31's, with the T-Bar cranked up. Its not the right way, but thats how I bought it, so I stuck with it. Regardless of that, I'd like to do it the right way. What am I going to need to lift the truck to run 31's right? Right now my suspension is stiff, almost break your back stiff.. I figured replacing shocks would help, so I replaced all shocks with Monroe's. Besides me blathering on, what do I need exactly to raise my truck to run 31's the right way, without stiffening my suspension so much, and can you provide me links to said items? Please dumb it down for me, new to body lifts...

Thanks.

if you want to crank your bars back down do a 2 inch body lift and that will clear the 31s fine

check out synergy off-road

The Fabtech lift kit in the link is for a full size Blazer, or Tahoe. Don't you have an S-series?
