Leveling front end
I recently lifted my 01 Blazer 4x4 LS 4dr with a 5" BDS 2" body lift and added leaf springs to the rear and put on some 35s

It is still got a little tilt because the leaf springs added about 3" instead of 2" like I hoped. I have had some rubbing issues with the 35s turning and hitting a bump even though I trimmed the fenders pretty well. In addition to trimming more, what choice should I pick for leveling out the front
BTW this rig is for purpose not just looks

Well whatever car is parkerked behind it their roof gives the blazer a sweet hood buldge lol.
I can see where you need to trim the fenders more, that little angle should be more direct/straighter IMO.
Are those soft 8's or pro comps? Either way you may want to get different rims for the offset.
T bars are the way to level the front, possibly back the bolts out & re-set them equally. You will or should have to get an alignment afterwards however. But if doing that levels the front then I'd say it's worth it.
A little rake to a blazer is good IMO. Most after a few years have a saggy rear end & it helps with carrying loads/towing etc.
BTW do you mean level the front as in equal height side to side or the front rake it has?
As I said I love the slight rake, it looks really good IMO.

The truck looks good! But as far as the rubbing issue up front, you have limited options. Your torsion bars may be able to be adjusted a tad bit depending on how close they are to being maxed out and also depending on alignment issues. The only other things I can think of would be changing out the wheels to a different backspacing like Rotti said or getting extremely stiff shocks for the front if yours are kind of mushy.
