my main concern is the lift. i would like to put a 6inch suspension lift and 3inch body with some 36s. but what i was wondering is does anyone know where i can find s 6inch suspension lift for it for a reasonable price. the suspension on the blazer seem MUCH easier to work with/lift then my IFS pathfinder and i only spent 700 to lift it. im assuming that a lift for a blazer is cheaper but where??
any helps is appreciated
thanks

yeah IFS costs bank!
at any rate, you can get 6" BDS front springs for under $100 each from
www.jdsoffroad.com. In the rear, I'd do an echobit shackle flip (if they still make em!) and a ORD zero rate.
All of that stuff won't cost you much $... but when u go 6" or more, you're going to need some kind of steering correction and to lengthen your driveshafts too. Any shaft shop should be able to lengthen ur shafts. For steering, you're going to need a raised steering arm...or drop pitman arm... or drop draglink. Sometimes for lots of lift, people use a combo of 2 of those things. The best option (not cheap, but best!) is to go with a complete crossover steering system. I got mine from
www.rockstomper.com works great.
btw, you can save urself lots of $ and head aches by going with a smaller amount of lift. I run 39.5s on my 85 that has 5" of suspension lift and 1" of body lift... all you need to do is trim to fenders and you could fit the 36s you want very easily with a 4" lift.
lots of tech floating around ck5 with respect to lifts... i recommend you do some searches... thats the fastest way to build up a good knowledge base about this kinda thing..
