Default Lower a 4x4 Blazer

I have a restored 1973 K5 Blazer with what I believe is a 3"lift kit. It sits at 38.5 " to inside edge of the rear wheel well. I want to get this down to 33.5-34.5. when I look at changing the leaf's out to stock it doesn't look to me like I can get there. I'm going for the stocky original look. What is my best path to this height and level. Any advice is appreciated.

You would need to determine if it has a 3" spring lift or body lift. If body lift, removing the lift blocks that are between the frame & body would bring the body back down to stock height. If it is a spring lift, getting a set of stock replacement springs and installing them in the stock configuration will bring it back down to stock height.
