Check out my album on my wheel spacers!! I put 1.5" on the front and 2.75" to even out the spacing width with the factory wheels. I got them on ebay and have driven 10k miles and no problems. My driving is mainly country roads and highways. Havent towed with them and not sure if it is recommended either. Let me know what think of my pics.

I'm gonna look into it a little more, I like the way your blazer looks with those sticking out a little farther. I really want those wheels you have too! I have the 'blade style'. I'm in a lot of mud about twice a week on the old farm road, It's bouncy and real nasty after a good rain. I just wonder if I'd bump the fenders bouncing and twisting on this one particular spot with spacing like that. I've gotta get a lift and some better wheels and tires at some point, real soon. Plus I'm pulling a small trailer with feed and hay bales loaded on it.
My Dad needs to get the old farm truck going again. He got it stuck bad enough we had to walk the track hoe down just to get it out. Meanwhile, the chain was hooked to a bad spot and, twisted/busted the radiator. I'm getting tired of cleaning all the mud out underneath my everyday driver haha. Thanks man!

Im running a 2" rear spacer on mine and it just sticks out a lil further than the front, is your 1 1/2" fairly close to even with the front then?

Aftermarket wheels are probably the cheapest way. You could also upgrade your axle and achieve a much widened stance. Check out wolfpack's blazer for info on the zr2 axles he put in his 4x4 4 door.
