That would give you a 2.5/4 drop which should be good BUT Blazers didn't have quite as much rake as the trucks. You should still be OK since you could use a taller tire in the rear to get the right stance when you are finished.

Wouldn't that be a 3.5/4? If you want it level then I'd go 3"

Oops. Missed the 1" coil, reading too fast

How does the truck sit now? If it is mostly level go 2". If it is raked and you don't want that, do the 3".
