2" rear block lift only on 2003 2wd chevy 2wd s10 blazer ???

Following up on my own question. Will the stock 2wd rear shocks be long up enough for a 2" rear lift?

It also does appear that Tough Country makes a block lift for the s-10

2wd blazer - not sure why.

The truck's rear uses springs (not coils).. What about the following Warrior 1.5" spring shackle product

1-1/2" Rear Lift Shackles For Chevy $34.95

Will the stock shocks be long enough with this product? Will the ride be noticably tighter? Long term effects on the suspension/truck.

Thanks.

Piece of cake bro........ If it doesn't come with longer u-bolts.....get them You wont need to shim the angle cause it under 4" of lift. Maybe you should consider a add a leaf kit instead of blocks, it would supplement the load carrying capacity while lifting the ass end and they are safer than blocks.

Isn't the rear of an S10 ABOVE the leafs? adding a block will lower it. On my 87 I added blocks to lower it level with the V8 installed.

Good point, I was assuming he had done a spring-over

Yes its spring (not coil). How about shackles like these:

Good idea? Will the 2" lift seriously impact the ride/ stock shocks (2003 s10 blazer 2wd) ? Today I think the back end is all over the place anyways.

Thanks.

Good info Mad .. True newbie here and looking for some info like this help make desicion. In terms of lateral movement, whats the risk? and are shackles any worse than blocks?

Also, how can these guys claim max lift of 2" on a 1.5" product?

BTW, I wont be doing any real offroading with this truck, but will be towing a 20 foot cruiser.

thanks again.

When i said "spring-over" i meant locating the axle under the springs which would lift the truck w/o changing springs but you must cut the spring perches off the bottom of the axle housing and weld them on top.

4" of shackle length will lift the truck 2" Shackle length versus lift is a 2:1 ratio

I don't like shackles because they allow lateral axle movement.

It's your call boo, do it like ya wanna........!

I 'm thinking that blocks are out of the question because as "Styx" pointed out your axle is above the springs so blocks will lower the vehicle. The thought of towing a 20' cruiser with extended shackles gives me heartburn. You should seriously consider beefing the leafs or installing air-bags.

DING DING!! Air bags--- the best way to go. And not too pricey, either. Plus you can "remove" them when you don't need them

You can get them from JCW for about $150 or so.
