Looks nice. I assume you lifted the rear to match...

 

You can only go 3' with new, re-indexed keys. All the re-indexing does, is let you keep the bolt at the same position, while applying a baseline 1' lift. Then, you crank the hell out of the bolt, and get your 3'...hopefully. Thats assuming your tbars are not worn in at all.

For the majority of blazers with any mileage on them...the most you'll get is 1.5' to 2'. 2' is pushing the limits of your front geometry...much less going to 3'. BUT...if youre ok with parts wearing faster (how much faster...who can say..), then 3' works for you!

Good choice going 1.25' though...Looks much better, and you shouldnt have to worry all that much about your front end parts

 

thanks ALOT wolfpack...but to what samuknow said actully i didnt do anything to my rear its stock but in about a month i plan on putting 2' blocks in the rear...then in time to come a 2' BL kit with 3' blocks!

 

You will need shackles not blocks.

 

i heard i could put blocks inbetween my springs and axle since my srpings are on top of the axle...and how much are shackles do you know?

 

Replied to your other thread..


but...to get it covered:

Note the spring below the axle.

 

Yes S-Series trucks and Blazers definitely come from the factory with the axle mounted on top of the leafsprings. So if you add blocks you will be lowering the truck not lifting it.
I would know about that because I originally lowered my 95 Blazer when I first got it and I used blocks to accomplish lowering it along with lowering leafs.
Before: Lowered with blocks,leafsprings & reindexed tbar keys...


After: With 2" bodylift, 1.5 tbar tweak, homemade add-a-leaf, shackles and 31" tires...



And yes it's a 4x4 and the 2doors & 4doors have the same suspension.

 

when you say add-a-leaf are you actully putting in another metal leaf on your springs???

 

yes single add a leaf springs can be had for under $40 from summit racing (short add a leaf, the long ones cost more)
