Been a LONG time since ive posted. I havnt donech to the blazer. I did put on 2.5'' lift shackles and replaced the rear shocks with Monroe Sensa Trac shocks. I like them. The rear is really stiff now but it handles better than ever and i can handle loads with out sagging much at all. I have yet to try the offroad. I also added 1.5'' rear wheel spacers
