Suspension source for 4x4 blazer

My 71 Blazer is in dire need of a new suspension , I've replaced body mounts, gonna run 33inch tires. I don't want a bone jarring ride, or a huge lift. Any ideas or sources?

Re: Suspension source for 4x4 blazer

I think Tuff Country makes a nice riding spring at a reasonable price. 4" lift with 33"s look good IMO. Lots of sources for springs but I've always bought from www.offroaddesign.com I also recommend upgrading to the greaseable bolts for the springs and shackles. If you go with a 4" lift you ought to get a raised steering arm. If you go with a 2" lift you shouldn't need one.
