Hello my name is Eric I'm new to this forum as I just bought a 2001 Chevy blazer trailblazer zr2 as you all know the front end comes standard lifted 3" higher than the rear for me this is an issue as I live in wv and mudding is a way of life and a great enjoyment of many. I was wanting to know if anyone had any suggestions as to how I can lift my rear 3" so I'm level and no longer drag in the mud. I've checked with my local auto parts stores and looked for shackle kits and even the possibility of adding a leaf. I wanna take the cheapest route possible as I still have a family to feed. So any suggestions would be great and please if you have a suggestion of what I can do please provide a website for the product. Thanks again

 

cheapest is shackles

 

Where can I get the shackles from none of my auto parts stores have shackles that raise they only carry lowering shackles

 

This is what I have:

Fabtech 2 inch Blazer and S10 lift shackles

Mostly got it just to level out my Blazer.

 

Ive never seen one that was lifted more then the front stock. If your rear is sagging that much, look into replacing your leafs.

Unless someone cranked the tbars and didnt touch the back

 

I'm thinking that's what has been done is my t bars have been cranked up a bit and nothing in the rear but next payday I'm ordering a shackle set so wish me luck and thanks for all the help

 

I agree, the front should not be lifted that much more than rear. However, what I did find with my ZR2 (and others have said this also) is that they seemed to be unbalanced right out of the factory. When my Blazer was fairly new, a friend of mine (who knows nothing about autos) was looking at it across a parking lot and said, "Whatcha got in the back of yer Blazer?" I didn't have anything in the back of the Blazer, it just always looked like there was 500 pounds of crap in the cargo area. So I got the 2" shackles.

Without the shackles, I would hate to see how much it would be sagging with the 'ol dirt bike attached to the hitch mount.
