Should it be an all in one like suspension or is it better to mix it up ?

Where can I find a 10" lift?

for the front, i would go with some 10" tuff country springs and for the rear i would get a shackle flip and 6" tuff country springs and a zero rate to bump the back up another inch to get rid of saggy ass like all blazers have.

Or for the front u could get a slightly softer ride if u did 8" tuff country springs and a zero rate (9") and a longer 6" shackle to get it to 10". ur blazer has a 4" front shackle so if u add 2" onto it u get 1" of lift. but the only problem with this way is u have to keep ur pinion angle correct with shims. its just a little more involved then just slapping on some 10" springs but not that bad.

Superlift makes a 10" lift if you want a complete kit.

any ideas how much this would cost?

superlift has a scratch and dent program and they had superlift 8 inch springs not to long ago, call them and see what they have. they are huge markdowns. i paid $50 a spring compared to 170 or something
you could do a skyjacker 8" softride system, a 1" zero rate on front, a 2" ORD shakle flip in the rear (1" extra in the rear to compensate for saggy but) and a 1" ORD body lift for a grand total of 10" of lift. superlift does offer a complete kit, but, their springs are pretty stiff (at least the ones i've ridden in)and gets kind of old bouncing around over every little bump . i did not know tuff country offered any springs over 6". how big of a tire are you planning on running?

if your not gonna be doing rock climbin or any of that, i would just go with the 10" springs in front, and maybe a 6 in the back with the shackle flip/ who cares if its stiff, you dont need flexing to go through mud

oh and for cost....
front springs-probably around 400 for both
rear-400 for both
shackle flip- around 150
then you will need u-bolts, steering correction, bushings, etc.
i would have to guess around 1200? thats just my guess

With 40 or 44's I would think you will have to do some trimming of the fenders. The trucks I've seen running that large of tire without fender mods used 12" lift. I would do what dfl701 is saying, the 10" spring in front w. 6" spring. Good Luck with that.
