T-Case is in the stock position and I'm afraid that if I stay with a minor lift that I'll run into clearance problems when I hit my first major pot hole! I have worn out stock springs with an add-a-leaf in the front and what appears to be 2-3" blocks out back. I love your Blazer and hope to have a similar stance. Thanks!
I made my own front cross member, and with the stock worn out springs it would touch the diff slightly when hitting a speed bump or something similar. Now with the new springs, there's no way it would hit. I have the truck in storage for the winter so can't take a pic of the clearance.
