You will most likely need to pick up new hubs and ball joints also

Just a tbar crank go know more 1.5 inch. Anymore will stress your ball joints, hubs and axles. They will wear out fast

30 inch tires and 1.5 crank. Every truck is different, you may get lucky. Or do it as a temp till you save up for a real lift kit.

I hear that this will kinda just be a work /daily driver don't wanna go nuts as I'm building a chevelle. So I'm looking for a cheap ish way to slap the duratracs on it. I guess I can try the crank first along with the lift shackles and see how close I am. Make a plan from there If they don't fit

I like getting input. I'd hate to drop coin on 31s and not have em fit. Maybe 30s are best I will look for pics of stock blazers with 30s.

I watched a vid on a body lift install looked like a lot of pissing around. Suspension kits seem to be the way to go?
