Hello, I'm Danny.
I've only seen it done once. I will ask him if it was custom or totally bolt on and get back to you. I'm almost willing to bet it was custom though. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.
I forgot to ask. Does this have the 4 wheel air ride suspension? Thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.
If it has an airbag shock assembly then it is an air ride system. Otherwise it will have conventional coil springs. I've attached a picture below of a front airbag shock assembly below that is controlled by an on-board air compressor. Let us know. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
I've tried getting ahold of a few places with no luck. This is going to be a custom job to get done. If this was a Chevrolet I'd have more help for you. What you can try is BellTech parts possibly. They made lowering springs for 2WD Expeditions. Maybe you can try to modify or make those work. Hope this helps. Thanks again for using 2CarPros and Happy Holidays.

Hello again.
Here is how you lower a Chevrolet 4x4 with front torsion bars and rear leaf springs like your Blazer:
If you want a lift kit I put a Rancho '6 lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks on my 1997 K1500 and it rode like a Cadillac. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
