SFBD 101... LOL

Get some square stock (2X3 or 3X3)

Mark your original location/hieghts of body mount

Build yourself some new frame rails

Lower your body mounts the desired hieght to achieve body drop

No overall raising of the floor required

^^except for raising the driveshaft tunnel, and being a blazer the most of the rear floor pan.
