Minimal Damage
Quick thought I am going to throw out there. Would a 1" Torsion Bar Crank put considerable wear on the front end components? I'm not looking to go sky-high with it. I just want a little more space between the tire and wheel well to ensure that the tire doesn't rub in there if I hit a large bump. Just figured that the angle on a 1" crank is not as severe as the 2" and would probably stress much less.
Let me know what you think.
As you can see, the tires currently fill the wheel wells pretty good.

RE: Minimal Damage
you should be fine with that it shouldn't put to much wear on the other components to bad and it will look pretty sweet

Get it aligned.

Yeah it would be considerablely less wear than a 2" t-bar crank, but there will probably still be more than stock. Definately get it aligned once you are satisfied about the height. I am probably going to do at least a 1.5" Tbar/shackle lift and maybe a 2" body lift too not sure, but I am going to be running 31" BFG AT's

Those BFG AT's are bitches with rubbing, just a heads up!

If you duff the front end hard enough to bounce, while the wheels are slightly turned, you're gonna make little notches at the tops of the fenders... but that's at stock height with 30s...
I don't think you'll have to worry about the tops of your fenders after that body lift, lenny, lol.
I wanted to do a 3/4" or so t-bar crank on mine...

1 inch? why not? The stockball joints will wear out on your blazer even if you havent cranked the t-bar! lol

I still got the stockers too, and they have 142,000 on them. Sure eventually the will wear out, however they have lasted 7 years so far.
