Anyone know what the largest suspension lift you can put on a stock 1st gen s10 blazer without having to modify the driveshaft?

 

Typically the larger lifts change the pinion angle on the rear axle. The 6" suspension lifts available (that drop the front axle) should do this and I do not believe that any of them require a longer drive shaft.

 

isnt changing that angle a bad thing though?

 

If you go the wrong direction, yes. But the kits are engineered to correctly change the pinion angle for better alignment of the driveshaft to the rear axle. The driveshaft angle at the other end gets worse, but I do not believe it gets bad enough to be of much concern. There are many people running these suspension lifts.

 

that is excellent news to hear. any links to the kit you are talking about?

 

Take a look in the Lifting Tech section for a list of lifts available.

 

DANG I didnt even see that section! What is the difference between this suspension section and that one?

 

This is for stock suspension maintenance. The other is for modification.

 

oh! You should move this one then since it doesnt belong if you want to.
