need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
I'd like to lift my blazer 4 inches, has stock springs. just curious what springs would be the simplest. are people using b52 kits on blazers? if the recommendation is to use later chevy stock springs where are people buying new one's and at what weight rating?
Thanks! David |

Why not just get a lift kit? I have a tuff country 2 1/2 inch all spring lift and 33's and I really like it!

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
I guess I thought I put that in my post. Yes if there are good lift kits available that is what I'm interested in. Where is the best place to buy rough country from

I put a 4" BDS (Spring only) lift on my 1972 jimmy. I have no rubbing issues running 33" x 13.5" Nitto mudd grapplers. Springs are alittle stiff but that is to be expected.

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
Yes it was a complete kit. You can choose if you want blocks in the back or springs (I chose new rear springs due to the fact I did not want alot of axle rap during acceleration) So I went with 4 springs & shocks, steering arm, steering stabilizer shock, front & rear brake brackets, U-bolts. I attached these web address below.

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
If you want the best, call Deaver and tell them you want their long travel leaf setup. It can't be beat for the money IMHO.

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
I don't need the best. Just looking for a nice setup for a driver that is going there last.

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
Just bought my 4 inch lift directly from rough country under 900 for all springs front and rear, 4 shocks, dual steering stabilizer, steering arm and extended brake lines. Tring to build a daily driver on a budget not a hard core 4x4. Hope this helps!

Re: need lift recommendations 1969 blazer
I hear you. The Deaver setup will basically be about double of what you pay for one of the off the shelf lifts but it will ride like a Cadillac on and off road.
