Yep, i recently bought a 1994 s-10 blazer 4x4 and the ride sucks. the *** end is lower than the front by an inch, its response to steering wheel movements is slow, and overall it feels like it just needs a whole day devoted to replacing components...

this is my first 4x4 let alone truck. if its a bmw i got the knowledge, but this lifted crap i havnt got a clue.

If it helps, my future plans is lifted, 15inch wheels, 33in tires, full out trail murdering beast.

I would also do all the labor to save the $$$ too... help is appriciated.

 

Sounds like the rear leaf springs are weak. IMO look into new ones, Shocks all around would probably help the ride too, they may be shot.
How high are you going? It may be advantageous just to get the lift components now instead of buying stock stuff and THEN buying your lift stuff. Are we talking 6" Susp lift?

 

what size rubber can i fit with a 3inch body lift? its the wifes DD as well, so it wont be a purpose build rig... yet.

What about bushings... is there a one stop shop kit i can purchase as well?

 

stock you can fit 31's so i would figure about 33's

 

synergyoffroad.com has a TON of 4x4 S-series parts

 

thanks a ton guys! so i can run 33's with a minor lift?

 

Yes, with a whole lot of trimming. Stick to 31's with a 3" lift and you'll be happy.

X2 on Synergy Offroad. I would start with rebuilding the front end, replacing all shocks and either getting new springs in the back or throw an AAL in there. While you're at it, replace all fluids and a complete tune up.
