Default Real lift? SOA?

I just bought a kit to lift the front of my blazer 2" and now i want to lift the rear. I have heard of people doing the SOA conversion. Does anyone know of a kit to do this. Or should i just do add a leafs of shackles. Thanks

A SOA will give you 5-6 inches of lift in the back. 2' can be accomplished through lift shackles or add a leafs.

A.A.L. are going to be a stiffer ride in the back. Shackles would be much better. Thats what I am doing right now.

if u go w/ the long add a leafs they give u a softer ride. shackles just give u lift pretty much and keep the same ride quality. if ur leaf springs r lookin a lil saggy i would say do an add a leaf
