At the moment Im trying to find a Lift Kit for my 93 4x4 S10-Blazer but all Ive been finding is either too small 2inch lifts or slightly too high 6inch lifts I was looking for something between such as a 3inch lift or around that atleast for a good price quality combo. does anyone have any recomendations because having nearly finished my engine rebuild now would be a good time for me to look at this if I need to cut exhaust ect because it is atm detatched from engine.
Aswell Ive heard MAF problems with the K&N filter systems "all oiled systems" is there anything as good or better that wont mess up the MAF and still yeild more HP and fuel mileage. My exhaust is actually blue bottle system so Im pretty sure flow out is not going to restrict my air intake ability thus Im sure it would be a decent upgrade to do this.

I know exactly what you mean, I'd like about 4" without breaking the bank.
The reason why you can't get any lift in between is because of the independant front end. A 2" kit just uses different upper control arms, that pretty well strech the CV shafts to their limits and flexes them to their max.
The 6" and higher lifts replace or relocate all the parts.
As a result I don't think that the average person can install a larger lift themselves.
My advice is use the 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift or just make your own 1" body lift to make up the difference.
You should be able to run 31"x 10.5" tires without any rubbing with either setup
