Re: suspension how to's??????

I cut the rear bumps stops off at 4+ inches but that's on pick ups, never did a Blazer. You may have to trim the front bumps stops but you only need a razor knife.
I have no idea about the rear brake lines, again, since I never did a Blazer.
Someone should be able to give you an answer though.
