I understand that a rough country is just a t bar crank and a shckles but how would I go about getting my blazer more level in the front if i put 2 in shackles on the rear? that would be 3+ inches I would have to make up for

Get a bigger hammer.

Lol kidding. Cranking the t-bar +1.5 will make it just about even.

So you're saying to get rims with less backspacing when I do lift my Jimmy?

you have to lift it in order to get the rims with less backspacing because they stick out further and at stock height the tires on your new rims will rub your fenders. I had my blazer lifted with stock rims for a couple months it wasn't that big of a difference when I got my new rims
