    I'd end up with an obscenity charge.... but when there's nothing there to cover up.... heck, I have to be careful wearing long pants.

        Anyhow ... since the previous owner had a 3" body lift with a 10" suspension lift, I'm betting he had the adjustments all on the longest settings possible. If you could adjust the suspension down to 8" that would be about a perfect ride height with improved travel.

          4 corner leafsprings/straight axles. short of removing leafs (and thats never exact, could be 1", or 2", or 3"....)
          or changing the leaf spring completely, there are no adjustments. heck, the only thing you can align is toe, theres
          no provision for caster/camber ( except for putting shims under leaf pack for caster maybe...)

            I could go on, but I think we're not making the mod uncomfortable.... while I have no doubt of the nicknames, I question the depth of the field and the breadth of their knowledge.... in some places midgets are the giants.... just sayin' I've now insulted all of Hawaii.

                      I'm starting to think the real reason you lowered your Blazer had nothing to do with lift-height laws but more the law of gravity.

                        actually, gravity is the reason for the double steps...dont worry, theres still
                        18"+ clearance under that second step-unless im wheeling over rocks the size
                        of igloo coolers i'll be fine.. and remember the wife is only 4'11" & 15/16,
                        so she has a hard time getting into it.... my fat @ss is tall enough to climb in
                        without any step--but it aint pretty........ theres a bit of grunting and sweating
                        involved.
