converting that old blazer to 2WD would be a colossal waste of time. If you'd like to know my thinking on the subject, Ill be happy to elaborate, but for now Ill leave it at that...

www.offroaddesign.com is your friend. If your a paid member of www.ck5.com you get a discount. http://offcamber4x4.com is ck5's sister site. Again a discount to members on that soft top.
From ORD you want the Steering brace, Sway disconnect/correction, the EZride front springs. Raised steering arm, Stephen's Recomendation on shocks, 4 inch Shackle flip, Springs from 85 or newer K5 for the rear (softer and ride better). ORD offset blocks front and rear if you want to go to 35's not needed for 33's. Also want the 1 inch body lift for 35's but not needed for 33's. It will ride better then stock and be ready for Tellico. Get a roll bar before you go off road. S&W makes a kit for that truck that is pretty echonomical. This is what it will look like with that set up and a little Sawzall on the fenders. 35's 4 inches of lift 1 body, 832 RTI on a 30degree ramp and no scrub.

if its 4x4 then keep it large and in charge.. a simple 4-6" lift with 33-35s, a basic cleanup and paint job would get that beast looking better.
I would modify the front bumper bars to fit the front better, get it wrapped and closer to the front end like a cattle catcher/grill guard, will look better without having to worry about tearing up the truck next to you in a parking spot

Yeah, I was at a stoplight next to a Midget yesterday, you know those little 2 seat deathtraps? And I was a bit concerned that i might just roll up on him and squish him! At the very least maybe take oput his windshield with the corner of the cow catcher! lol
