Default 2000 Chevy Blazer 4.3 4x4 4 door looking for suspension lift kit

Whats going on everyone I work in a shop here in Indiana, and I am trying to figure out exactly what is the best lift kit for the four door model. I have only found a few, and am currently looking at a kit made by Trailmaster (5 inchlift). I am also wondering as to what messures can I take with this vehicle to reduce the amount of body lean (or roll over rate) while lifting it. Can anyone help?

That's pretty much it. You've got the Trailmaster 5' kit, superlift makes a 6' kit, and short of that, you've got 2' kits that just crank up the torsion bars and add lift shackles in the rear.

Since you have a shop and I'm assuming a bit of mechanical ability, you might want to consider doing a solid front axle swap (SFA). Put a Dana 30 or 44 under it, make a custom front crossmember for leaf mounts, and voila (more or less ). If you really wanna get creative, do a SFA with coil overs instead of the leaf springs most SFA'd blazers have!
