Re-indexed Torsion bar key lift kit (3") for front, and replacement leaf spring shackles (2") for the rear. Adding these will allow for 31"-33" tires and overall increased ride height. It does look tough when installed.
this was off an s10 p/u, can you tell me if this will fit on my blazer

a 3" lift on your tbars will kill your front end, but the shackles should work. if you want to run 31's youll need 2" of lift or 5" of lift for 32's and 6+" for 33's.

The only thing is with getting new keys, is that it is a HUGE pain in the A$$ to changed them. It took me and my buddy over 4 hours just to get the old ones out. So my suggestion is if you dont want the hassle of that. Just do a 2'' shackle and 1.5'' t-bar crank, and get a 2'' or 3'' body lift. This is definitely the cheapest way to go, but it works.

ive seen guys have problems with a 2" suspension lift(comes with new re-indexed keys) so if you can get by with 3" keys without problems i would say count your blessings because 99% of blazers with have front end issues with that much added stress.

Well I guess I'm one of the lucky few then. I just got back from a 1200km road this week week (all highway driving) and no problems. The only real issue i have had so far what changing the keys like i said. They were in their pretty good.

Poor Mans Lift, pml. aka, Shackles and T-bar crank.
or
Body lift which is a little more
or
6in super lift, my personal favorite. Quite pricey though.
