you arent gonna get much more than 2" out of the front tbars.

synergyoffroad sells shackles but 3LeafFab has the coolest ones. 

EDIT:  WHOOPS!! didnt realize your truck was 2wd....    (idk if you mistyped or not, your name says 4x4 but the post says 2wd)

im not sure what places sell lift spindles and springs so i cant help you out much there.

Your blazer is a 2wd, well then you don't have t-bars your looking at lift spindles, springs and shocks for the front but the back is the same a a 4wd with adding leafs and longer shocks plus shackles!!!

you could do a Spring-Over-Axle for the rear which would put the leaf springs above the axle like in fullsize trucks.

the only way shackles in the front would work would be if you had a solid front axle with leaf springs.

also, what makes you wanna do 4 inches? i there a certain size tire you are trying to fit?

not to be mean are anything but 35's and 33's are a fairly noticable differnce lol. and if you dont want a body lift, then shackles for the rear and lift spindles, springs, and  shocks for the front. you dont have leaf springs in the front so shackles are out of the question for up there.

they were 33's saw it again today, but hes got a 6 inch lift with 33s and i dont really like the 6inch with 33s so i was thinking just a little smaller 4 inch with 33s. plus his is a zr2. and i just have a basic 2 wheel drive it just im soo jealuse becouse we basicly have the same blazer both pewter both 2 door at first i didint think it was a zr2 becouse he took off the stickers and he has different rims and he took the back wheel off.

6 inch body lift does not exist, and if it did it would be rediculously dangerous not to mention look extremely bad..........

I would just do a conversion then to get a safe lifted height outta yours! Convert it to 4wd with a straight axle in the front!! 2wd's were ment to be lowered not lifted!!( just my opinion)

the only 6" lift for the 2wd blazers are the superlift. theres no other one. the only other lift that you could do to get any where near 6"s is the fabtech spindle lift with add a leaf or shackle and a 2" body lift. they dont make anything higher than 2"s for a body lift. 2wds dont have t bars so forget about that. sucks huh? trust me i did this lift and i aint satisfied. heres a picture of mines with the exact same lift i mentioned. if you can get more lift out of your truck post some pics.
