Re: im wanting to lift my s10

ur best bet is spindles in the front, but they give 3 inches. then shackles in the back, prolly want 1.5" shackles to have it sit level, and then u wont need the ugly BL

No the spindles will not fit a blazer i think newer than 97. Unless you switch to S10 brakes and calipers. The blazers use some kind of diff spindle.
