Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good Blazer...

Here you can see the tire/inner interference. I figure I would need at least another inch of BS to even come close to clearing.

Also, the obligatory beer can shot. This was taken with the tires resting on the inners; I am amazed at how much clearance there is under there now. No more dragging A-arms on everything! I switched to Mexican beer after the last embarrassment

Third one is near ride height with the wheel perfectly centered in the wheelwell. The frame is at ~5.5" off the ground with the LCA parallel to the ground. The rear section of the frame is about 6.5" at ride height, so I've got just a little rake. Perfect.

Yeah, I'm happy with this mod. Now to tear it all apart again and clean/paint everything...
