This will open a can of worms, but I would like to be able to tow my trailer with it. Thanx again.

I used 6" drop springs from ECE.
They are the only company that sells 6" rear springs, all the others sell 5".
A member on here swapped his CPP 5" springs for ECE 6" springs and it did not lower the truck the additional 1".
Some say they are the same.
I actually know the blazer you purchased.
Another board member on here owned it for a while.
I had my blazer static dropped for a few years.
First 4.5/6,... then 5.5/6.
The BEST thing I did was add a bolt-in c-notch to the rear.
This gave me the added axle clearance I needed to maintain a good ride with 4 people in the truck.
By myself it never bottomed out,... but with people in the rear seat it did.
My blazer is now on air ride. I love the ride even better.
Call Stan at ECE.

These guys don't just sell parts,... they own and drive these old trucks.
They've been in business for a LONG time and all they sell is parts for these trucks. Nothing else.
He will recommend all the correct shocks, shock relocators and adjustable sway track bars to get your blazer riding good!
Also post up some pics of your suspension.
That will help us see what you have installed now.
