What i did for the gaps in the rear was get a floor mat from menards for 2 bucks cut it in half drill the wheel well and use the plastic panel tree things to keep them there

I used the ORD body mounts and got their 1" spacers to go with. Hardly noticeable.

1st off it would help knowing what year blazer you have (1st or 2nd gen).
I got my blazer with a 1st gen, 3" body lift installed already from the previous owner. 1st gens had a 3" BL available while 2nd gens (mine) only had 2" as the max. That being said they couldn't install the bumper brackets, so my bumpers are at stock height & the rest is 3" higher.
With some fender & front bumper trimming, 1.5" T-Bar twist & inch longer rear shackles I can run 32" x 11.5" tires on Pro Comp Rock Crawler 10" wide rims.
I have some aluminum checker plate I'm going to get powdercoated & place in the bumper to body gaps as well & undercoat the frame to hide the nastyness lol.
I'd love to get some automatic running boards that deploy & then hide. Not that I need them, but passengers sometimes do because my blazer is 3" or so taller than a stock ZR2.
<edit> With a good BL, properly installed - what gaps are you talking about? The body should be up 2" higher & you'll see more frame, that's all. The bumpers should be raised along with the body because of the brackets that should be included. As for the gaps in the fenderwells between the body & frame, look up Gap Guards. I got a front & back set for around $100 that are made for a 2nd gen blazer.
It does look sorta silly seeing a truck raised up & you can see right through the other side above the frame etc. Gap Guards fix that issue.

Really? The bumper brackets that came with my PA lift brought the front bumper right up to the grill, just as it would be without the BL. Not sure why yours would be any different.

All the body lifts I've seen have had a similar space right there.
