I am looking to give my blazer a more agressive look. I have had 31's on there for a couple years, but now I'm thinkin about a slight body lift. Can anyone tell me what my options would be? and If I were to go with a couple inch body lift, could anybody give me a ballpark estimate what a truck shop would charge me for the lift kit as well as the installation? Also, If I decided not to go with the lift, I noticed that the back of my blazer sags just a little bit lower than the front...any ideas as to why, and what I can do to fix it? Thanks for your help. I'm new to the forum, and I am impressed with the knowledge and friendliness I've seen so far.
Rick

Performance Accessories is the only company that makes a body lift for your truck... Truck shops charge out the butt for body lifts because they take so long to do and most shops charge $60+/hr for labor.. To fix the sag, you could look into add-a-leaf, shackles, new rear springs, having them re-arched, etc...

I got prices on a body lift for mine and it was around $900. To fix the sag you can go with shackles or add a leaf. The add a leaf will give you a little bit stiffer ride. I was actually looking into getting add a leaf for mine because the back sits lower than the front now with the new lift. Check out the add a leaf on synergyoffroad.com

if the back sits lower than the front, you have cranked your front too far.. The rough country lift is only designed and warranted for a front ride height of 22 inches from the center of the wheel/hub to the top of the fender..

a_tack- I just measured it and it sits right at about 22". the back sits about 20.5". I didnt get that much lift from the shackles thats why i wanted to get add a leaf. Im not sure why i didnt get as much lift in the back.
