4" is about all you'll get away with before needing longer driveshafts. I have a 4" lift plus 1" zero rates and I am on the hairy edge of my driveshafts coming apart.

I just talked with a guy out at the the lake the other weekend who had a Burb, now i don't know about the Blazer, but his had a 6" lift and 35's and he did nothing to the driveshafts. Not sure how the Blazers would deal with it though. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

6in you can PROBABLY mabe get away with stock shafts but its not always a good thing to extend you slip yokes out...

I agree, thats why i was going to go ahead and have them extended when i dump the 4" and install a 6" vehicular height adjustment components. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I got away with 7" of lift and my stocker for a LONG time but knowing how far that slip yoke is pulled out gets to you and you will eventually break down and have some shafts built..
