I think you would have to settle with lift spindles, check on ebay im sure they have them.

Lift spindles would probably be cheapest. Other than that you''re looking at new coils up front or cheaper coil spacers..but spacers alone won''t give you the lift you''re looking for I don''t think..

Just out of curiosity, what is the point of lifting a 2wd other than looks? Because if I was to go offroading in a 2wd lifted, I would try and barrel through deeper mud and just get stuck.

4x4 won''t help you in mud You need beefy lockers to be any good at deep mud
Notice the non-muddy rear wheel with traction... it just wasn''''t spinning because the other side was bogged in mud too.

im paying 290 a month in insurance with a 4 wheel drive its going to be more money. i just got to do with what i got plus i cant get a 4wd since i just got my firt blazer, but just wondering if i do 3 inches in back and 2 inches in front would that be noticable and i dont think i can add shackles becouse of my hitch seems to be a tight fit.

you want the other way around 3in in the front and 2in in the back to make it look level. the other way the back would be higher then the front would.

you could do 3in spindles in the front with 2in shackles in the rear.
here are some http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/GM_S10_2wd.htm
and then do some synergy offroad or 3 leaf fab shackles in the rear
i know you have a 05 blazer but im not sure what the suspension difference is between a 03 s10 but here is a 3in/0in lift thats for a s10 http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/14.asp
if you scoll down alittle bit on this link you can see some pics of some 2wd lifted s10s that have the name of the lifts under them http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/gallery_chevySSeries.htm

thats what i been looking at is the 3 inch 3 leaf fab shackles or the 2 but if i do that how much would i have to lift front to make even i dont want to spend money on 3 inch shackles and only can get 1 inch lift in the front and be all even i thought the rear sits lower then front couse of hitch weight and sag

Have you measured the height difference on your blazer? They won''t ALL be the same... My blazer is higher in the back. Its also 10+ years old... jimmyboy was saying 3front/2back because most blazers are a little higher in the back.
It''s very possible that your truck sits higher in the front than in the back. The best thing to do would be to go out and measure how much height difference there is between the front and back. Measure from either the ground to the top of the wheel well or from the top of the tire to the top of the wheel well.
After you''ve measured the difference, then start asking for suggestions and how to lift the front and back and keep it level.

oh i got you know but i had it all messed up becouse when i first joined they said that you want to lift ur back higher then front cuz after awhile the rear will sag. after lifting it so if i lift the front 2 i should get a 3 inch shackle and after so on miles the leaf will sag to a 2 to make level. whitch i guess isint right. year my back does sit higher then the front.
