Thanks for the explanation.
I have an M916 with the 45k rear winch.
It amazes me how easy I can drag that truck with the winch.
We have used a backhoe as an anchor (stabilizers down & buckets dug in) for it.
There is nothing special about your rear driveshaft.
Your over thinking this
RETURN the rear springs (might be the right pn but wrong part).
Buy a different brand of rear springs or do a shackle flip or ???
Why keep throwing money at what is obiviously the wrong setup ?
The reason I ask is aside from the "shims" I have never seen a 4in kit pull the drive shaft that far back (in your pic)
Ive worked at a 4 wheel drive shop in the past. I have installed 100's of lift kits & only seen this issue when the wrong part was supplied. Is your center pin "centered" on...
Post the part #'s on the rear springs.
You talk about sending the whole kit back & going with a 2in.
Why not get the correct rear springs for your blazer ????
Your talking to the wrong driveshaft company's if they don't feel comfortable
lengthening it or building one.
Find a REAL driveline shop !
DO NOT drop the t-case.
You will just be making things worse for yourself.
OR if you don't care about the frt shaft, pull the t-case, make it 2wd
It will make your driveshaft a lot longer & fix your angles.
LEAVE the t-case alone, choose what style rear shaft your gonna go with & adjust rear...

We did some Cat shifters a few years ago.
I thought it had gotten better, I guess not !
Some people can't handle "power" LOL.
I will contact you about another matter.
Talk to you soon.
Good luck !

Might be a little off subject but will say this
I did a group buy with Artisan awhile back.
He ran the show, did all the work, kept me informed & stayed on top of everything until deal was done.
I wouldn't hesitate to jump into another deal with him.
