They barely rubbed the frame. Just enough to rub the surface rust off the frame. Couldn't tell when in the vehicle. I put the shackles on today and cranked the tbars up just a little more to level it out. I'll have to see if they still rub. Only lifted the front up about another inch.

Lookin' good! Be careful about cranking those t-bars too much. Most of the info you find on this site will tell you no more than 1-1.5" for a good reason. I did the shackles and t-bar crank max'd to clear 31's and after market wheels that push the tires outward. I had to max the t-bars to prevent rubbing (that's in addition to a 2" body lift). It wasn't long that the alignment was jacked and wouldn't stay. I ended up installing a Rough Country 2.5" suspension lift and wish I would have done that from the beginning. It rides much better now that the control arms can travel and the alignment isn't an issue for the alignment shop anymore.

Is it okay with the aftermarket 2-3" shackles to and new torsion keys to crank em down? Or will you run into the same issue, I'd imagine you would but im trying to figure out how exactly I want to lift my Blazer.

The aftermarket keys really do the same thing that cranking the T-bars does. Either way, you eventually run out of travel and the control arms have no room to move. I also changed the keys. I really like the 2.5" RC lift and wish that I would have done this from the start.
