i have a 1999 chevy blazer 4x4 and i was wondering what would be the easiest way to lift it and level it out without cranking the crap out of the torsion bars. i need the easiest as well as the cheapest. any suggestions? i want to lift it about 2 or 3 inches total but i think i might need about 3.5 or 4 inches in front to level it out. please help me!

You cn always level it if it's saged that much in the front.
You can buy a 2" lift at a affordable price here

Or just buy a 2 or 3" body lift for about 100.00 at a local parts store.
The taller lifts practically ro your bank account, although you do get alot in the kit. They also take alot to install.

Imho 2inch front suspension lift and 3-4inch rear body seems the way to go,bang for buck wise.(unless you wana go extreem 1700$ later)
Reason i say higher in rear would be because it seems to be alot lower than the front to begin with .. Im waiting to have the rest of my truck back together before I set off on this project though haha...

My 85 still sits level, and I believe that it always has.

i think the older blazers always did sit alittle more agresive imho.. honestly i like the slightly forward look myself. *slightly higher in back* but seeing my blazer has good leaf's ect im pretty sure it just comes slightly lower rearward or looks that way anyhow.

1997 ls 4x4
I wanna lift it after an excursion today that brought home about 10 lbs of mud and i lost my exguast tip from a recent ungrade and a dented tank. I was thinking a 2" suspension and 2-3 body to get it up in the air and keep the price down. and go with 31's I saw a few kits around 5-600 for the suspesion, with a-arms and stufft like that. But ive seen like torsion bar keys???? what are they. They clam to give me 1-3 " of lift http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/S10-1-3-4X4-LIFT-KIT-4WD-S-10-BLAZER-JIMMY-SONOMA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33585QQihZ019QQi temZ8072935576QQrdZ1 theres on i found. should i go for the whole system or will somthing like that work. Im not gonna go crazy off road may be once a month and nothing extreme, just going though trails get a lil mud on the tires. but there are 5 blazer in my area that are just like mine, i really really want people to know its me what are your guys suggestion to all the options out there. I was gonna start orderin next friday(payday:grinyes: )

Most suspension lift co's also make body lifts. I wonder if they'd consider making a package deal. It makes sense to
