What and Where to buy lift??

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
Saw this one on Ebay:

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.

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!).

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.
