So I'm wanting to lift my blazer after I get my transmission lined out this week. I've searched a lot but can't find a build or guide to what I want and the parts I need.

Blazer is a 2003 ls with 3.73 gears and no locker. I'd like to keep the stock wheels and know I'll be adding spacers. Want 32 inch tires or as close to 32 as I can get. I can't do some cutting but wouldn't want to do a massive overhaul to prevent rubbing.

I was looking at the markmc 2.5 lift but my shocks have never been changed so i am considering going with the 3 inch lift. If I get this I assume I'll need shocks for front and back, along with probably z71 springs in the rear and new springs in the front (87s?)

Is this all I need for lifting this thing or am I missing some stuff?

If you just want to lift it, all you truly NEED is the lift. I lifted mine with Mark's 3" kit and ran everything else stock for like a year and a half, original shocks and springs in both ends.

I originally had 32" bfg mt's with only a 2" bds lift and marks 1.5" spacers, I used original springs until I started adding more weight then I HAD to change them out.
