Im new to the blazer world and I want to add a little height to my blazer so I can clear 31's. Ive already cranked my torsion bars but i want a little more height. I know all about body and suspension lifts. Im a virgin to the shackles, add a leafs and whatnot. Whats the difference between the lifts? How expensive are they? Any others I didnt mention? Any input is appreciated

 

From what i read, the shackles are the better choice since they don't stiffen up your suspension like the add a lead does. Ive seen a bunch of shackle kits for $50-$90. Dunno which brands are best though, I'm trying to figure that out myself.

 

if you wanting a cheap way to fit 31s. then trosion crank, 2-3 inch body lift, and shackles. good luck on CV wear though.

 

ive got shackles in the back and cranked the front 1.5" and have had no problems with cv's or anything up front. i fit 31's mastercraft m/t's in with some room to spare. they are a relatively inexpensive way to go, but are kinda a paint to install so do your homework before you start cutting up your suspension.

 

Add a leafs are easier, shackle bolts are usually rusted in and a nightmare to get out. Ive seen more than one person on this forum give up on it. If you have an older truck your leafs are most likely soft anyway
