Rottidog, a member on this forum either bought his truck like that or did the 1st gen body lift on his 2nd gen blazer. It can be done, but like Jamaroon said, it isn't worth the hassle. Do you honestly want a 2 inch gap from the bumper to the rest of the vehicle? And he is also right on the parts list, lift blocks are only one part of the lift.

Buy the 132 kit and be done with it! The extra couple dollars will save you south time and headache over trying to to fab something yourself. Not to mention like jam said you will have the correct parts to do the job properly.
