Default PA lift done, want more lift

I just finished installing the 2 inch PA body lift on monday, it was fairly simple, but very time consuming if every dang body mount is for some reason stripped lol. Anyways though looking into adding another 2 inches onto my blazer which is a 2001 LT 4x4x4. I was planning on a t-bar crank, im not sure if i want to do the full 2 inches though since i've heard it yields out pretty bad wear on front suspension components, so maybe just a 1 inch crank, and then some 2 inch rear shackles in the back.A friend of mine told me to look into buying larger shocks and coil springs to make up for the strain being put on the suspension. I was wondering if anyone already ran the same setup, maybe any suggestions on the best route and productsto take overall for looks and performance. After this lift i plan on trimming the fenders to slap on some 33 BFG's. I'll try to post up some pictures tomorrow with the lift done i guess. Thanks

On my 2000 LS 4x4 i had to get new shocks front and rear as i was maxing out the factory bilstein's with the shackles in the rear and the fronts were just crap anyway. As for springs you shouldnt have to change anything. The factory leafs should be just fine.

Good times on heading for the 33's. Once i get money and my truck back from the shop ill be right on top of that myself.
