Suspension lifts

I was wondering if anyone has a cheap way of doing a suspension lift for our 69-72 blazers? Hope fully 2"-4" of lift if possible... Saw in a magazine for a suburban that an owner used parts from an f250 for lifting his rig but was curious if anyone has other ideas..

Re: Suspension lifts

Cheapest - body lift kit, or make your own.

Next Cheapest - Front lift springs, rear blocks.

Keep in mind that depending on the amount of lift you go for, you might need longer shocks, a raised steering arm toprevent bump steer, and extended front flexible brake lines. 4 inches of lift or less will not require a CV joint in the rear drive shaft, but anything greater than 4 inches definitely needs a CV joint to prevent driveline vibrations.
