lift for 84 s10 blazer

[pyro]

i have an 84 s10 blazer that i want to lift. would like to know if any one has any suggestions on a reputable company to buy from, or if any prefab lift is manufactured for this year. also looking to run on 35's would like any advise on how much lift i would need to do so.


thanks

sorry, i can't imagine anything that would help a rig who's wheels are painted bright red and has a big, red fugly spoiler on the back. re-post this after we cut the top off with the sawzall. :finger:

j/k, you'll need probably 5" to get 35's up there without some creative cutting (which will be fun anyway...)

seriously though, ease of installation is also a consideration. pyro and i will be installing this ourselves, and when we get together with tools, we don't stay sober for long.

Ok, I'll bite...

S-10 (or doing any GM IFS lift) sucks. Cutting, and welding, will be involved. I don't know if trailmaster builds it or not anymore, but I think they did a 5" lift. That with a 2-3" body lift will clear 35's on an S-10 without trimming. However, 35's on S-10 running gear is grand entertainment for all watching, except those behind you on the trail. :D Now if all you are doing is looking good at the mall, then go for it.

You should SAS it if you are actually going to wheel it. It would probably be cheaper too. I would go with a toyota solid axle, they can be found pretty cheap(I think there is a few in the For Sale section). But if its just a mallr go buy a :rainbow::ba: IFS lift, leave the diffs open, put a bunch of body lift on it and go get yourself an Orange Julyis.:finger:

last i saw the 5" lift was like 1200 bucks.for that kinda money u better think about an sas.like a toyota front or a dana 44.it will be way cheaper and wheel way better.my buddy has an s10 with a 350 in it and 32's and believe me u dont want to run that front end.we had problems everytime out.although his tcase has held up to some punishment though,and rearend.just between balljoints and cv's,its a friggin hassle.
not to mention the little 2.8 under the hood,i assume thats what is there,those motors have trouble turnin 35's without gearing so with out a doubt GEARS AND SAS is the only way to go.plus installin an sas on a blazer is easier than the ifs lift.
good luck buddy, might wanna check out some s10 sites,they may be able to tell you more.like s-104x4.com and im sure there are others.
