Torsion bolts and blocks, you may want to cut your bump stops. 3 and 4 may be a little drastic, start with 2 and 3 and see how it feels, you may want lowering shocks in the front.

I wouldn't... You'll want to get an alignment within the next couple days after doing the drop.

Looking at your pictured Blazer... Nice truck and wheels!

I do like those wheels, and the first thing I noticed about your truck is the wheels. They aren't original for your truck. Your 2nd gen. 4x4 wheels were changed for 1st gen. 4x4 wheels. Blazer people will notice it. Got my attention! And as not factory correct for your truck year.

Default Lowered the back

I lowered the back with 3" lowering blocks and cut the bumpstops in half looks real nice and low...Going to lower the front (take out adjuster bolts) on Tuesday and let it sit until Thursday morning when i can go get an alignment.. oh and also i took my roofrack off and painted my bowtie and tire carrier. i'll get pictures on thursday or somethin
