Hello from central VA
I found this site looking for info. on my 95 Blazer. I found a lot more than I was looking for, so I thought I would sign up on the forum. I own a Teal 95 4X4 that I ordered new after I read about the "soon to be released" second gen model back in 1994. I also owned a 1985 Blazer before this 1995 model. I've had a few issues with this truck, but Chevy and the dealer helped me throught the "early" rough spots. It has proven to be a good steed over the years. It starting to require a little more TLC now that it has over a decade of good service on it.
My reason for coming here in the first place was for info. on the torsion bar front end. I noticed that my front bounce stops were in need of replacement. The drivers side was pretty worn and the other side was just a bit age worn. After I put new ones in I saw that the drivers side of the suspension was sagging more than the right side. After I read here about adjusting the torsion bar I dialed up the "bars", a little on the right side and a little bit more on the left side to balance on the stance. This is a stock truck, so I was not looking for lift per se. What I need to know now is... Should I get the front end realigned after raising the front end less than a half inch? Thanks!

Welcome.
I would. Any change in the suspension angles will change alignment. Especially if you last alignment was done with the "sagging" suspension.

Welcome to the forum! If your tires are new then do it, otherwise just save the money unless you are noticing a problem.
