Awesome paint job. Love the color. Kinda reminds me of Ford midnight blue. I always liked that color.
 
I don't think I ever posted here with my other tires.

Here it is with 10"lift and 42"TSLs.

Did you do a CV driveshaft with that setup? Seems the driveline angles would be horrible. I have a 2.5" lift and even I have issues!

They are the factory drivelines that have been re-tubed to add a few inches. I don't think they are at a bad angle. But, I am not an expert. I have a 8" suspension and 2" body lift. I will try and find some pics of the drivelines. The T case has not been lowered, And I have done some stupid,crazy,insane stuff in this Burb and have never had a driveline problem.

Looks good...rear appears low. Add-a-leaf (1" block) will fix that. What are your seats out of?

Thanks, hadn't really noticed the sagging butt until I posted the pic, might be due to the longer front shackles. Seats are out of a 2006 Sierra, not bolted down yet since I'm planning on replacing the floor but they are really comfortable.

those seats don't bolt to the factory locations, do they? that would be waaaay too easy...
 
No unfortunately not, agreed that would be way too easy. Most likely I will have to figure out a way to support them from underneath since they have the shoulder belts and what not incorporated into the seats, fortunately others have done this so I just need to review their builds. One thing I've learned from working with this truck...If its not one, its everything else, haha.
 
When I put some seats in my pickup out of a '95 Firebird, I welded up a little support structure out of 1" square tubing for the seats to mount to. I used two of the factory holes from where the bench seat had been mounted and had to drill two more in the floor board. I'm sure you could do something similar with your Blazer. Just remember to use lock nuts and grade 8 hardware in case you crash.
