I have a 95 S10 blazer, 4 door.... Been searchin around for 2" suspension lifts. Anyone have any suggestions??

 

Crank the t-bars up 1.5 inches and get some 2 inch shackles from the parts store.


Any kit that re indexes the t-bars to get more than 1.5 inches of lift in the front is just gonna cause you headaches. 1.5 is about all the cv joints and ball joints can take. Anything more your gonna be replacing parts pretty regular if you use it much or hard on it.

 

Yep... I replace my front cv shafts about every six months. If I had it to do over again I would have just cranked the torsion bars as stated above.

 

cranking the torision bar puts stress on the ball joints

 

So does having the truck sit on them.

Reindexing them with the keys (porkchops) that the 2 inch kits come with puts them at more angle than they were designed to take and it wears them out. Read what I said about 1.5 is about as high as you can go with the factory setup. Some trucks can get 2-2.5 out of a crank alone but it doesn't mean stuff gonna hold.

Don't think we are telling you this cause we want to be 1/5 inch above everybody else. After you have to replace the parts a few times yourself you'll say the same thing. CVs aint cheap and ball joints don't just jump in there.

 

you crank your torision bars, I'll keep my Superlift kit

 

the only difference between your superlift kit and cranking the t-bars is that you paid $500(or however much it cost) for the same thing

 

The Superlift kit included upper control arms but I'm sure that wouldn't matter.
in your opinion I wasted the cost of the kit when I should have just cranked the torision bars,
all the same to you, I like my way better

 

you are still cranking the t-bars either way

 

if you say so, like I said I like my way
