Testing The Waters -Interest in My Used Lift Kit

I am getting ready to lower my Blazer a few inches and will have a nice lift kit for sale soon. I wanted to see if anyone would be intersted in it before I removed it from my Blazer and posted in the for sale section. I assembled the kit from several different sources to get the best lift possible in my opinion (for the money). It consists of 4" front Skyjacker Softride springs, 6" Superlift rear springs, 4 Bilstein gas charged shocks (can't remember the series number but they have the brushed aluminum cylinders), and a Superlift drop drag link. This kit gave a nice level lift with good ride quality and fit 35 inch tires nicely. I am going with less lift to make my Blazer more parking garage freindly! I will post a price with the ad. Just want to see if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Hi, I would be interested in your used lift kit if the price was reasonable. I have a 72 with 33" tires on it now but want to run 35"s. I am located in southern Oregon and could possibly meet you somewhere to save shipping costs. Let me know. Thanks.

Re: Testing The Waters -Interest in My Used Lift Kit

Just curious, does it sit level with the two different size springs? I ordered a 4" skyjacker and it came with 6" rear springs. I know the single wall tops are heavy, but I didn't think it would lower the rear 2"

I have a 4" front and rear and I sag a TON, I'll switch to 6" rear at some point.

It sat with the rear end just a slight bit higher with the top on when I was running a 14 bolt rear and 3/4 ton Dana 44 front axle. When I switched to a Dana 60 front axle, the front came up a tad due to the larger axle tube diameter and it sat level.

I am not looking to make any money on the lift kit. Just want someone to be able to use it. However, shipping will be a significant cost due to weight and size. I live in southern California, so driving anywhere near Oregon or northern California to deliver the kit would be cost prohibitive for me.

Re: Testing The Waters -Interest in My Used Lift Kit

Thanks for the info, looks like I may be needing a 2" shackle lift up front to make i sit level. Wish I hadn't bought mine already I could've got yours. Thats just my luck tho. Good luck with the sale.

AHOWE88 thanks for the info. The salesmen normally cant give you any other reason than "thats what the kit calls for". I figured it was for the weight of the top I just didn't think they would send 6" rear springs.

Re: Testing The Waters -Interest in My Used Lift Kit

I am really interested in the lift kit, if you would be willing to get a quote on shipping and it wasn't prohibitively expensive (cheaper to buy locally) I would be willing to pay for the shipping. Let me know. Thanks.
