most people can lower it up to inches and 4x4 still work, but you must be short or have a tall blazer if your having problems putting stuff in the back. belltech(i think thats the company) makes lowering leaf packs. some of them come with lowering torsion keys, if not just run the bolt almost out (be careful cause this can put strain on the CVs as well as lifting.

I BMX and I want to get my bike easily from the back. I also fold my rear seats down too to make more room. I am probably going to get some though. I am getting a job soon, so I am going to get some once I have the money. This thing is going to look a lot nicer by the end of this coming summer.

if you can find someone to trade your for a 2wd, you will be happier down the road so you can go full bags and stuff like that (without worrying about all the 4wd stuff)

I don't want to do bags though. I am going to get an s10 later, but I am just stuck with this for now though. It is under my parent's name and they want me to try and fix it up if I can. Plus I like my leather and sun roof haha

so you want to get a little lower, but not entirely. so your best best would be drop leaves and lower torsion keys. you could also do blocks in the rear. only downfall to lowering a 4x4 blazer is the same as lifting it, more strain on the cv and other suspension/steering components. which is why getting a 2wd to lower is a lot better.

Yeah I know. I don't have a choice really right now and I just have to work with what I got.
