4 in the rear, 2 in the front, honestly it would look stupid as hell... If your worried about breaking parts, dont crank your tbars.

It all depends. You should be fine with 1', but that will probably only level the blazer, as most trucks and suv's have a bit of forward rake from the factory. I think Matt (otnietdehoooo) did the 1' just to level it, and I don't recall him having any problems as of yet.
i havent had any problems yet. soon after i first cranked them, some of the grease out of the CV boot leaked out. after wiping it off,there was no more leaking and everything is fine so far.

So i could do the body lift that would raise everything 2" an get the 2" shackles an crank the front 1" so it would have a forward rake. Would that look bad?

That's about what I've got. 1.25' in the front, 2' in the back. Waiting on funds for the body lift right now though.

I can't remember what the factory rake is, but 1' shouldn't look too bad. Only problem might come from your headlights being aimed down a little farther from the lean, decreasing the range of your lights. But other than that, 1' shouldn't be toooo bad.

Wolfpack do you have shackles in the back? Isnt there some way to adjust the headlights? What kind of rims ro you have? I got the same year blazer an color as well, an i think black rims look really good on red blazers.

I'm sure the headlights are adjustable, I just don't know if they can be moved up that much to account for forward rake like that...not sure at all. In my sig I do not have shackles on, just the t-bar lift up front, now I've got shackles on (see Got my shackles on!). Rims are Pro-Comp Series 51s, 15x8 with 4.5' of backspacing.

And yea, red and black is the best combo I think
