That's the easy part... the hard part is getting the front that high up as well.

trobbins - I would suggest that you just start with the 2-inch body lift and see how you like it. If that's not enough, then add the more expensive suspension lift later. I have the 2-inch body lift, and I think it's the perfect amount of lift, about the same that you get with a stock ZR2. I think you should just start out small and try that, then add more if it's not enough for you. Just my opinion.

if you run a SOA in the rear you should end up with about 4 to 5 inches of lift with good springs. now that being said im with Psychropod on this one. 2inch body lift first then go from there thats my plan at least just gotta get the body lift kit or fab up my own either way best bet is to start small. just like hot rodding a car you do not go from 150hp straight to 1500hp you go slow get used to it and move up. but if you want to slap a 6 inch lift and big tires on its your truck be my guest but like has been said baby steps gotta learn to crawl before you can walk and gotta learn to walk before you can crawl.

on a side note will stock size tires look ok with a 2 inch body lift?

But I really wouldn't go bigger than that with an S10 Blazer!..
I also would not bother with a spring over axle in the rear unless I were doing a solid axle up front. If you purchase a 6" lift, you will get everything you need to raise both ends.
