heyo... I'm recently new to owning an s10 blazer ('88, 4x4, 2.8L) and offroading but i've been looking around (probably all the wrong places) at what i can do to lift it up a bit. longer shackles for the rear springs are easy enough, body lifts are easy enough (within reason), but it seems that everywhere i go, the only thing talked about for the front IFS is cranking the torsion bars tighter and getting lift by twisting the arms down.
They all seem to h ve some sidelined comments about "topping out" more often than not, harder wear & tear on the ball joints, steering mods, etc etc....
what i'm wondering is, isn't there some sort of design of longer control arms out there? or maybe some sort of block/brace/whatever system to mount the arms lower..like offseting the mounts..? I'm pretty sure i see such setups with various IFS Toyotas but haven't seen hide nor hair of such for the blazer.
maybe someone here can point me in the right direction or straighten me out entirely....:)
BTW, has anyone here tried converting to a solid front axle & leafs?
