you can adjust the torsion bars to lower the front up to 2"... there shouldnt be as much wear and tear (as there would be with lifting) since lowering it would actually make the CV shafts more level.
you can put some blocks b/w the axle and leaf springs to lower the rear.

Look into Belltech for their 3/3 drop kits. The kit will include new torsion drop keys and 3" drop blocks for the rear. You can do a 3/3 drop and still have your 4wd fully functional.

In a way I don't but I kinda do. Maybe he can't find or afford a 2x to lower, maybe he doesn't like the jacked up look but wants a 4x4. Me I have my 4x4 and had my bagged truck. Starting on a bagged project as soon as I find a blazer 2x

I have belltech torsion keys and brand new drop shocks if you are interested in dropping ur blazer. That 3/3 drop looks great.

Belltech Torsion Keys are for 82-04 S10 Blazers. So they will work on your truck and so will the shocks. PM me for pricing.
