It's been a while since this thread was active, but beautiful job on the Blazer! I'm 6'6 and am looking to modernize my seats to better accommodate my height. It looks like you used the 2nd and 3rd rows from a Denali, Escalade, Tahoe, which I'm also considering. How have you liked them? Is your view impacted? Any and all advise is much appreciated!
