I have always paid around $60 for a front end alignment and about $90 for a 4-wheel alignment.

I had one shop try to charge me $125 because i have 33x12.50's. Yeah right.
Brought it to a local shop, and not a tire chain, and they charged me $30. Usually it's around $50 though.

Little note though, you can't do a 4 wheel alignment on a Blazer....Solid axle out back, tell me how a shop is going to "align" that? I got quotes from some shops awhile back and Quicklane tried to tell me I needed a 4 wheel alignment because it's a 4x4. Then I asked him how they were going to align my solid rear axle and he was stumbling over his words after that saying he thought I said Explorer or something. Don't get crooked.

Yeah, a solid rear axle vehicle doesn't have an adjustment for anything in the back. Its either on or something is broke. LOL. A few shops tried telling me that I needed a 4 wheel alignment after I got done rebuilding the suspension on my Chevelle way back when. I laughed and left.

I'll make a conglomeration post in the DIY section out of both sledneck's and Jigg's posts in this thread, ofcourse giving credit where credit is due and link it back to this thread for discussion and/or correction of the DIY thread.
Ofcourse, that's when I get some time to do that... Maybe when I get back from fire training tonight. LOL... that's a BIG maybe!

so everyone agrees that 2 inches of lift is the max you would want to crank the torsion bars?

I only went 1.5" on the torsion bars, i only need to fit 31's. So now i have a 3.5" lift (shackles) in the back and a 1.5" in the front. Thanks for the help jigg.
