Has anyone ever used another brand of flip kits on there Blazer? Did you have to C-Notch the frame?
Are you sure you don't have that backwards - it drops it 4" then you get another 2" by re-arching? So a total of 6"
My Blazer has a flip kit and my GF's dad insisted that a flip kit gets you 6" on any GM truck. But when I measure form the center of the rim to the wheel-well edge the difference between my Blazer with the flip-kit and my Blazer that sits stock height (as far as I know, minus sag due to age) is only about 4"?
I posted some pictures of my set-up in another thread. I bought it this way so I haven't had a chance to drive it but there is very little clearance with no c-notch. But there is also no evidence of it hitting either. The PO drove this around for at least a summer before selling it to me.
