The DIY4x B-52 kits come with shackles. They are 6" shackles front and rear. Look at my build thread I have pics of all of these parts.

so if i used 52in springs in the front with the b-52 kit and 6in shackles id give me a 6in lift for the front and if i used the rear shackle flip with the stock rear leafs and 6in shackles i get 6in lift in the back to?

I used everything from the kit, so yes to your question. I will add though, that when you lift the blazer, the rear axle moves forewars a bit. Every time I have ever seen a lift kit put on a blazer, the rear looks like it is sagging a little bit lower than the front. To recenter the axle and lift the rear, you need to use the DIY4x eazy inch kit. It will level out the look of the truck, and move the axle back to the center of the wheel well.
