Well, it was all pretty trouble free until I got to the rear. The instructions neglected to mention needing to disconnect the tailgate support springs on the Blazer tailgate. I couldn't figure out why the rear end wan't going up high enough to put the lift blocks in. Until, POP, the spring came loose and the body jumped up another half an inch. I disconnected the other side before putting the blocks in and it went much easier. So beware body lifting Blazer owners!
Sincerely,
Chris
