complete newb to lifting

ali1 · 08-14-2008, 08:11 PM

Okay, Anyone have any links regarding the cheapest route to lift my blazer? Its a 2004 Blazer 4dr. I've been searching the forums, but i didn't find anyone that shares my situation. I have a sound system, which is obviously heavy with my enclosure, subs, batts, amps, and wires. So the blazer looks like its saggin from the back, which i really hate because it looks like i got 10 people sitting inthe back, when i'm actually driving by myself. So is it possible to buy a couple parts so i can lift the backside a couple inches to balance with my front side? The vehicle is under warranty, so i don't plan on baggin in or doing something crazy. Thanks in advance fellas. Any advice will be helpful.

shackles is the cheapest

3LF shackles FTW.

A helper spring would be a really good route for you to go with all the weight also. Also, look into helper shocks. They're shocks with coilovers on 'em.

2" lift coils up front

2" lift shackle(just as everyone else says... www.3leaffab.com)

I concur

other word to search other than helper, would be overload

such as

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270265310493

but better to buy from the store, lifetime warranty and swap on spot than hassle with shipping and seller(especially THIS one being 7 feedback)

They worked for my '70 Sedan Deville. I put a set on the back so it would support the added weight on the 16' trailer full of quads we pulled to Little Sahara with it

. Talk about people staring.
