Make sure your steering arm is parallel to the ground.
Install a 73-up front sway bar. (This made a huge difference in handling)
Don't use a quick ratio steering box (useless with the short wheelbase)
My Blazer drives like it on rails even at 80+MPH. I also have 12.5X33's and a mild 2" lift.
Hope this helps !

Sorry, for clarity I meant a stabilizer shock - not actual shocks. He was suggesting a dual stabilizer shock system which may act similar to a sway bar I suppose. However, the sway bar may be the better option and likely much cheaper.
Another question - were the rear sway bars only on the trucks with coil systems? I assume so.
Thanks for all of your help, it's greatly appreciated.
