Hey I was talking to a guy with a ranger. Yea how could I lower myself to that!! He told me that he was looking for a cheap lift and that he found this spacer that goes under the front coil/shock and can lift the front about 2 inchs. It worked good for him. Will this work on the blazer? I have a 97 4x4 2 door. Then just do a shackle deal or a add a lief in the back. Here is the link he used for his ford.

Thanks

Do you really want to rig something up like that? It is a CHEAP lift kit for a reason.

That Ranger had coil springs holding the front end up . You have torsion bars from the lower A arm . You can adjust it by tightening the bolt in the crossmember behind the transmission ,BUT it is not recomended without changing the upper control arm . OR you will damage or break the upper ball joint quickly . I did a 2 inch lift and it came with the upper arm with a different ball joint angle. Rob
