Default add-a-leafs for a 2002 4wd LS blazer

looking at going with the add-a-leafs to raise up the back of my 2002 4wd LS blazer just a little bit...it's sagging just a bit lower than the front, so I'd like to get this taken care of...can anyone tell me if this is a job I can do in my driveway? I am not a mechanic, but not an idiot either. Just give me some tips on what tools I'd need, and the quick rundown on the how-to, so I can decide whether I want to undertake this task. Thanks guys. New member to the forum, and like what i see!

Yeah, I did mine in my driveway, c-clamps really help with the install.

A basic set of hand tools. They come with instructions on how to install. So you should have no trouble.
If it was me I would install air springs (bags) or air shocks instead of a leaf. I think they are cleaner looking & will give you a better ride, IMHO just more professional. A few more dollars but I just prefer the latter.

I had coil over shocks on the back of my Bravada to add carrying capacity (for my tools). Really liked them, but would have rather gone with the air shocks for adjustability.

Yea I agree 100%. I don't care for ADD A LEAFS. There are alot of better options in my opinion.
