4\" lift for a 1st gen Blazer

The plan is a 4" lift with 35X12.5 BFG Muds on my stock 72 CST. I learned that the Tuff Country and Superlift 4" lift kits would come with a 6" rear spring to compensate for the early year Blazer. Do you recommend a 4" shackle flip & 2" spring lift? or 2" shackleflip and 2" spring? any suggestions would be great.

Re: 4\" lift for a 1st gen Blazer

The 4" shackle flip with the 2" rear spring will be your best bet, that will get your 4" ride height and be a reasonably soft spring rate. The early K5's use a spring that has a bit more arch to it than a stock post '73 spring so using the '73-up 2" lift spring would be pretty comparable to running a new stock '72 spring.
