I want to turn my Blazer into a DD and somewhat of a desert prerunner. the questions i have for ya'll is Suspension. I suck at welding and im not even sure that i can spell math, little own do it, so i started looking for a bolt on suspension kit. As far as i know leaf springs suck for desert racing so i was looking at this kit from offroad LTD. Its a coilover kit for the front and a four link kit for the rear offering 13 inches of travel and lifting my truck about 8 inches, but the kit is very pricey and i dont know if its right for me can somebody help?

thats the only bolt on kit in town. only other way is custom fab, and that would run a few grand for just the front typically. another option is to retain the leafs but go with custom deavers and modified mount points for loinger springs, some custom fab for bypass shocks. to run fast int he desert aint cheap at all.
Yep I was thinking the same thing after i saw this today .

Wow. Send me the truck and for 7k I will build front and back for coil overs. You can add the shocks of your choice.
