that sucks, but it does look good.
Do you lay frame?

You need to do a s-10 truck front brake swap and use drop spindles to lay the front out and even on 18's you need to notch the front part of the frame for the steering unless you get the no notch steering linkage!! I did the brake swap using the front rotors, pads and calipers off a s-10 truck same year as mine then threw all that on drop spindles from aim and one thing to mention is that you can use the blazer brake line you just need to take and round off the squared edges on the end that connects to the caliper so there wont be any leaks!! I have my front done that way (except the steering linkage, haven't gotten to that yet but I lay crossmember)!!

The front you can still lay out with everything in the stock position on 18's with a 35 series tire when I get the chance I will take some pics of my front for you so you can see that there isn't that much you have to cut to lay the front out, I have factory control arms and I just trimmed litterally the front out a lil extra and it layed mine out on 18's with a 40 series tire. I do have to say though yours does look really good where its at!!!
