I run 35's with 4" on my Jimmy. The very slightly rub on the turned in lower part of the front fenders. I eventually plan to modify my fenders for clearance. I think 6" is too much, but 33's looked stupid on mine. 2 1/2" and 33's might be a good compromise. I would have done that with 3.7's, but with 4.10s I need the extra height. I would NOT even consider blocks as I had much problemas including bent axle housing perches. Yukon Jacks truck is a 3/4 ton, but the Blazer springs are wimpy so I don't suggest the shackle flip. I would run 4" lift HD springs in the rear and so-called softride springs in the front. It's not drastic, but best thing you can do is keep the center of gravity down. Best case would be no lift and 35's, but truck wouldn't look like much once you sawzalled enough clearance! When I get my truck really twisted, the tires jam into the rear of the front wells.
