Default Front pumpkin drop?

I wanted to lift my 4x4 2002 2dr blazer. I really don't want to go through CVs so I was wondering if any one ever made, bought, or even heard of a front pumpkin drop bracket to save the CV. I know I can just get a body lift or just crank the T bar but I was just seeing any other ways...

Any help would be great. Thanks

the first problem i had was the front brake lines trying to get them to bolt to the new a arms took a little fussing and ended up breaking the bolt and had to zip tie the brakes on to the arm. #2 was the rear sway bar drop brackets took a little fuss to get to work cuz the instructions are based off a 4dr and mine is a 2dr sway bars are slightly different. #3 was/is am still dealing with the psg side drop bracket didnt lower the diff down enough so when i go over bumps at high speed you can hear the axle binding slightly and when you jack the front of the car up the axle locks up but the driver side is fine. when i get some time maybe this weekend im gonna make my own psg side drop bracket to even out with the driver side. i have the truck raised to their spec of 21" from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. im not too sure if a 2dr is slightly setup differently than a 4dr or not and maybe thats why im having problems, because i've talked to other guys on the forum here who installed it on 4drs and dont have any of these issues so i guess its just a 2dr thing. when i get the mount made i'll take some pics of it and will post up.
