What and Where to buy lift?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mkmiller1 · 05-10-2005, 11:12 PM

I'm looking for a 4" lift for my blazer and was wondering where the cheapest place to buy a good quality lift is? I'm mainly using the blazer for road use(cruising and back and forth to work) and it will see minimal offroading. Let me know what you recommend and where you recommend buying the lift.
Thanks,
Matthew

I would say that most here will steer ya towards Tuff Country Lifts. For the price they are one of the most favorites on the market.

tuff country, from suspesion connection or off road design.

i use 4wheelparts as they have always been very helpful and offer nice warrantys on tires and rims as well

I've been pleased with my Tuff Country lift on my K20. I have also been pleased with www.offroaddesign.com

Not knocking Tuff Country (no personal knowledge), but lemme just mention Skyjacker Softride. I put 2 1/2" front springs on several years ago and have been very happy with them. Decent ride and appear to be excellent quality. Poly bushings and tapered leafs, and they never squeak. Just wanted to give you more info (or add confusion!).

That Suspension Connection is one hell of a good site. Excellent prices too!

I got my 4" lift from rough country. Great price and my 81 K5 with the lift rides better than my stock 85 K5

I know that can't be true if you bought a rough country kit, I had rough country springs on my K10 and they were stiffer than the 1-ton springs I have in my front end now.
