    chad, your blazer is not low enough!! I had mine dropped 5/6, frame was about 1.5" from the ground..

    to the OP, get wheels, then figure out how much you REALLY want it dropped.. A flip kit will drop it about 5-6 in.. to much for most people.. get shackles and/or drop springs for the rear, then spindles for the front. If you want to slam it.. eather save up 3G and bag it, OR spindles/springs for the front, and a flip kit out back.

    i know QD recomends heating.. thats ok for light cars/trucks.. I have never had good luck with heating..

    spend the money, and do it right the first time..

    i know

    i came real close to doing drop leafs in the rear and a 3 inch coil in the front

    everybody told me once you go lower than 4/5 it starts to really ride like shit though.

    i notched the frame, never had a problem.. except on hard takeoffs.. the driveshaft would rub, and the rear tires would hit the top of the fenderwells.. I loved that truck
