thanks for checking out my blazer. it has a 2" PA body lift, the torsion bars are cranked up on it, and in those pictures i hadnt put the rear shackles in yet, but i eventualy did to raise the rear to bring it back to a factory type stance (rear slightly higher than the front) the shackles i custom made and my recomendation for the torsion bars is that you try and find lifted torsion keys... it tried a bit but live in a small town so hard to get things like that. If you can find them they should be under $100 and give you a lifted front without tightening the suspension too much... mine is sooo tight im starting to replace a lot of front end stuff (maybe its just that time but i think the wear was accelerated a bit by the stiff front end) If your tires are going on the stock rims you should be fine but if you are using truck rims so that the tires stick out the sides like mine do, you may need to do a front fender trim, i had to, to get mine to fit...if you need more info on the fender trip let me know and i can send you a close up and a little bit of info on it. good luck
